If you ever need to prove Google is wrong every now and then - it finds "Klong" as the definition. I looked it up, and The Meaning of Liff gives it as "Sheppey" - defined as "Measure of distance (equal to approximately seven eights of a mile), defined as the closest distance at which seep remain picturesque". I find this mismatch strangely fitting, given the subject of discussion right now. > I find his written stuff thoughtful and usually containing many > persuasive arguments. > I will now stop talking about him.
