BTW, I think I have found and fixed the cut off word problem now; it was a fixed width element in the table tag that stops the table contents from wrapping if required.

With most blogs, if you zoom text size [in Firefox] the text auto-wraps. With the more subtle formatting you use the wrapping fails. It is all visible at 100% zoom.

Anyone else experiencing this should press + (and squint a bit) ;)

I think it’s because “George” was a name given to the automatic pilot in aeroplanes, hence “unmanned”.

I have adjusted the table again, but I really do not know what the issue is here with cut off words, as I can see all the blog perfectly, so it is difficult to fix something broken that isn’t!

It would be interesting to list what browsers have this issue – I am using Firefox on GNU/Linux, and the blog is OK on three different machines with different versions of GNU/Linux and Firefox.

In 8ac., the phrase “is a rat” defines scabs as a verb (3rd person singular).

At 23ac., the only explanation seems to be that Azed misread agami for agamid.

(I) am a rat : (I) scab
(He) is a rat : (He) scabs

I did try the verb of ‘scabs’, but surely you would still use ‘rats’?

I have had the problem with the comments being cut off before (as some people report), but all always looks fine here – anyway, I have made an adjustment to the blog table, so please let me know if all is visible now please.

Scabs is the verb form.

The palm is ATTAP.

Don’t know the trumpeter thing, sorry.

And it may be my browser but the ends of your comments are missing.
