- I just want to make clear that 85% of the material is by Levivich, the rest by our other fellow editors. I supplied the coffee and donuts. EEng 04:20, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
- Love the (disambiguation) overview. In support, one of the pages has this hatnote to finish it off:

- I am an elder non-native English speeker, and got here without previous awareness of Dr Seuss, and with little awareness of rhythm and melody in English poetry.
- I intend to show this article to some kids who (are taught English as forein language, and) are bored to aversion to that subject by curicula their teachers of English feed them.
- I estimate they'll stop being bored, get interested about how the rhytm and melody materialize when text is read correctrly, get interested how to try to create their own poetry, and to get interested about what all the references (links) the humour is about. Boredom should vanish, and their teachers shall have a whole new universe of problems trying to answer the questions from every field possible (and some unpossibles), instead of their previous sole one - uninterested and unmotivated pupils.
- That should also remove (too many) unmotivated and bored teachers' boredom also, and I hope they survive the experience. But if they do survive, most should remember (or even (re)learn) joy of teaching, and joy of seeing pupils flashing forward growing (in mind), instead of being laborously towed to memorize next datum listed in the curriculum.
- Thanks for this article. I suppose you enjojed creating it about as much as I am reading it, and naughtily thinking to whom and at what correct moment to submit it to read.--Marjan Tomki SI (talk) 10:06, 21 June 2021 (UTC)
- Unfortunately you're one of only about ten people who actually read it. Never have so many done so much to give laughs to so few. EEng 17:55, 21 June 2021 (UTC)
