- should that not, rather than "on", be "by your side," or is that inappropriateness apposite? --Evilkolbot 01:45, 16 August 2006 (CDT)
- It looks like it should be, so I fixed it.--Piroteknix 02:05, 16 August 2006 (CDT)
- "at your side" would also be correct, but we'll probably never know what it was 'supposed' to be. --Quietust 09:05, 16 August 2006 (CDT)
- It looks like it should be, so I fixed it.--Piroteknix 02:05, 16 August 2006 (CDT)
- at, by, and on are options in the list below. if the preposition is always inappropriate that would be one way of working it out. --Evilkolbot 10:15, 16 August 2006 (CDT)

- This looks like a job for <RandomlySelect> (for now, in {{Test/preposition}}) - "If you want Template:Test/preposition rise Template:Test/preposition the masses Template:Test/preposition the field Template:Test/preposition combat, then this is the sword you should have Template:Test/preposition your hand or strapped Template:Test/preposition your belt.

- I added a couple more to the list, I think that's the lot. Phlip 14:10, 17 August 2006 (CDT)
Obscure Reference?
Probably too obscure, but it does seem so similar. The mathematical poetry group Oulipo has a poetic method called N+7. For a given existing text, and a given dictionary, replace every noun with a noun seven words down in the dictionary. Example:
- Using The Living Language Common Usage Dictionary: English-Russian, the opening of the book of Genesis becomes:
- In the bend God created the hen and the education. And the education was without founder, and void; and death was upon the falsehood of the demand. And the sport of God moved upon the falsehood of the wealth. And God said, Let there be limit; and there was limit.
