Couldn't haiku refer to the alternative OS Randall has mentioned several times before? That seems more likely than putting the web tags into an actual haiku...

I always pronounce tags like < / span > as "slash span."{{unsigned ip|107.204.46.198}}

There is a [[explain_xkcd:Community_portal/Proposals#Merge_Cueball_.26_Rob|community portal discussion]] of what to call Cueball and what to do in case with more than one Cueball. I have added this comic to the new Category:Multiple Cueballs. Since only one of the two Cueballs in panel two speaks in this comic, he is still listed as Cueball. Just made a note that the other guy also looks like Cueball. --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 11:53, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

:> ''An interesting note; [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haiku_(operating_system) Haiku] is also the name of a free and open source operating system! The Alpha release was 6 months after this comic was written though, so this is likely a coincidence.[[Special:Contributions/108.162.219.195|108.162.219.195]] 21:11, 26 November 2013 (UTC)''

Hey, guys ,have you seen that webcomic? I think XKCD is referring to itself. [[Special:Contributions/162.158.49.6|162.158.49.6]] 15:42, 29 August 2016 (UTC)
 
 
This comic made me want to learn dvorak (this was typed in dvorak) <span style="background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(left, grey, white); border-radius: 5px; font-family:cursive; color: blue;"><i><b>-[[User:Donthaveusername|Donthaveusername]]</b></i><sup>[[User talk:Donthaveusername|talk]]</sup></span>

Just in case the editor of [https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php?title=554:_Not_Enough_Work&curid=6426&diff=268853&oldid=267576 this 'grammar' change] reads this... Either "a matter for debate" or "a matter of debate" are correct, both grammatically and factually, but with subtly different emphasis. It might be more correct to say that the debate is ongoing (somewhere in the world of such discussions) rather than to be had later (though it will doubtless be a still outstanding future issue for as long as there are no seismic shifts in keyboard layouts or alternatives), but I don't think grammar really comes into it. (But, in checking the edit, the double-space between "is" and "more" is something that almost annoys me enough to want to change it.)

: "Either A or B" is considered singular, so "Either A or B is correct.", not "... are correct".[[Special:Contributions/172.71.166.68|172.71.166.68]] 03:28, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
