Have you ever noticed that anything with "United" in its name is in perpetual danger of ripping apart at the seams?
It's like the word itself is protesting too much.
We need broad-based solidarity to solve the global crises we're facing, and we can't even get it right on our small scales.
@LiberalLibrarian Ha ha! I'd appreciate discovering a contrary example. But everything I've witnessed fits this.
It's like the declaration of unity itself sparks an urge to assert human individuality.
@sumpnlikefaith It's a common typo.
They usually meant "untied".
@sumpnlikefaith Because of my sporting passions, I saw this as a dig at Manchester United, and everything you said fits that team.
