Again, be sure to mark non-Klingon words with something. Someone might see
your first sentence and go mad trying to locate "Stray" in the dictionary!
Errr . . . does "fair" in "Advance Australia Fair" refer to not taking sides
(which is probably what {may} means)? I would imagine that it's the sort of
fair as in "beautiful" or "wonderful."
And remember, you can use verbs of quality as adjectives.
Finally, do you want to call Australians fair, or Australia fair?
yIDuv, *Stry* Dun!
