Everything in the Universe is either an onion ring or not an onion ring.
Discuss.

How would you classify an anti-matter onion ring ?
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

I would think you would italicize the or, not the not.

An antimatter onion ring is not an onion ring, because anti-protons are not protons.

The way I would say it aloud emphasizes the 'not', hence the italics.

I'm allergic. Now have to head for the poop thread.
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.

If you can't see the difference, is there a difference ?
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

I've heard a lot of talk about onion rings but has anyone ever seen one?
All we know is that the universe is speeding up.
I don't think it's necessary to make up fancy food items to explain that effect.
