Siding with the Other Side.

I had a visit from Union City, Georgia today, which I thought a little strange – the name, that is, not the visit. Isn’t Georgia way down there in Dixie? In which case, why on earth would they give the town a Yankee name? Isn’t that a bit like the French calling one of their towns Wellington?

It's not a Yankee name, it's just that the Rebs don't know how to spell "Onion."

Oh, Maddie! I've had a difficult night filled with querulous and discordant discussion. You bring sanity and humour to a troubled world. 'Union' for 'Onion.' Nice one. Sniggersome. Thank you.
