Note 8 — OUR TRIP TO BLUNDERLAND (continued 2)
Reading edition
If any one, with a mind not delivered from the bondage of mere vulgar arithmetic, should object that two 2’s make 4, and not 5, we have only to say that we don’t care a fraction, and refuse to alter our addition for any such common multiple of a fellow. If any other spelling B-ound individual should say that “toos” is not according to English orthography, we beg to remind him that Eng means narrow, and we prefer to go in for all abroad in such matters; and this being a book of fun, we adopt the funnytick mode.
