Thank you for your contributions&#32;to Destin Sandlin, but we are trying to write an encyclopedia here, so please keep your edits factual and neutral. Our readers are looking for serious articles and will not find joke edits amusing. Remember that Wikipedia is a widely used reference tool, so we have to take what we do here seriously. If you'd like to experiment with editing, use the sandbox instead. Thank you. Allecher (talk) 17:39, 1 May 2021 (UTC)

But on the other hand, who are we without humour? Humour has long been used (yes, citationless comment!) to teach. Whether to throw something into relief or to help with memory of otherwise dry facts. Given that Destin Sandlin is at heart a teacher would HE disagree with the joke? If for no other reason than it highlights the ambiguity of the English language. Having said all that, I do not disagree with the edit being reverted. I would ask that it be taken in context. It did not change the information being presented in any meaningful way nor (which would be worse) create inaccuracy. I believe the vast majority of readers - even those for whom English is a second language - would 'get it'.
