Dave,

Your pun is accepted with a smile and a groan. <g>

As for American sitcoms -- please don't tell me when to laugh! A "live" studio audience that spontaneously laughs at genuine humor is fine. But I actually won't watch "2-1/2 Men" because of its incredibly intrusive laugh-track. I'd rather have cleverly written lines (and actions) that stand on their own. (As a note, I appreciated "M*A*S*H"'s high-quality scripts more after they dropped the laugh-track.)

By the way, with respect to the "live" studio audience and "live" performance -- just what is the implied alternative?

But we digress! I return us now to our original discussion, "Proper Names -- Definition". <g>

Neil
