--- Quote from: WAYF on 18 Feb 2013, 22:17 ---I highly doubt that Henry would book his own son into a cot for his wedding.
But come to think of it, I've seen plenty of hotel rooms with two separate bedrooms.
That said, I think the only unjustified assumptions about Marten or Claire are going to come from the forums. :P
The other wedding guests probably won't care. Or if they do, they are apparently incredibly nosy for no reason.
The REAL problems and unjustified assumptions would arise if Claire caught the bouquet... :evil:

I think when multiple bedrooms come into play, it ceases to be a hotel room and becomes a suite.

I think, to a certain extent, Claire already has fallen for Marten. Or at least is starting to. Marten seems completely oblivious to this so far.

--- Quote from: HeavyP on 19 Feb 2013, 12:16 ---The amount of discussion over an offhand comment is simultaneously entertaining and weird. Marten is American and extrapolating from that, he's familiar with American English
--- End quote ---
So what's weird? Many people in this forum are not American, and so discussion over the meanings of words used in the comic (or simply in discussions on the forum itself) is commonplace. Indeed there are people here with a particular interest in language and words who relish these discussions.

I think its more over the implication the word is WRONGLY USED that is weird. From searching using google.au to prove their usage (if they were really interested in figuring out the usage in context of the strip, why wouldn't they you know, use the general google search) saying they would have to put "support behind cot meaning baby bed" people seem to be trying their best to avoid the fact that neither matters, the meaning in the US for cot = foldaway canvas bed thing.
Now, it may be a bit of sensitivity, but I know I get tired of the "oh you silly americans and not knowing what words mean", and I'm sure that isn't what people intend here, but it really comes off that way when there is a history of arrogant Englishmen claiming you can't even speak the language.
Ph2:
Considering the high levels of awkward thus far, I couldn't wouldn't be suprised if something unpleasant happens tommorow.
Kugai:
I'm sure Veronica could give Marten some tips on 'Stripping To Please Your Friends' :evil:
