Question from REALADAMANT (08:01, 9 June 2026)
Let's say the word is 'ILL'. In a number of writings it resembles the Roman numeral for '3'.III. This looks pretty careless to me. 'SQUAWK' is a delightful coincidence for me. I have a space at QUORA.COM titled THE ADVENTURES of POLLY PARROT. Polly is a cartoon parrot who can time travel and among other things, drive a car. Be sure to pay Polly a visit! --REALADAMANT (talk) 08:01, 9 June 2026 (UTC)
