> I wouldn't have mentioned this, but someone on StackExchange actually asked this question. I wonder if the author realizes how condescending this is.

I'm listening. Please explain.

imo interpretation of actually as "I can't believe someone did this (that someone could be so stupid)" rather than actually as "this is an event that definitely occured". Didn't seem too bad to me.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Clint Eastwood = Old West Action is still my favorite serendiptious anagram. I also like the mathematically correct ELEVEN PLUS TWO = TWELVE PLUS ONE especially because it's also an numeric anagram 11 + 2 = 12 + 1

Mother in law = Woman Hitler is another classic

okay that one caught me off guard
