In English a dounle entendre is not negative. It's rude. So a microformats double entendre would be: Microformats: Tantek's big thing. The first meaning is that Microformats are an important idea that Tantek is associated with. The second meaning is that Tantek has impressive sexual organs. It's not normally considered negative. Just silly. For classic double entendre's it's best to look to the art of Pantomime or to 1970s television situation comedys from Britain and America. -- Nic Ferrier http://www.tapsellferrier.co.uk for all your tapsell ferrier needs _______________________________________________ microformats-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss
