Gnomon - time to move on

There's nothing wrong with footnotes within footnotes; I've seen a few Edited Guide entries which have them.smiley - smiley

What do you intend to do with this? If you're not putting it in the Edited Guide, what are you going to do with it?

Mr. Dreadful - But really I'm not actually your friend, but I am...

While it's entertaining, you state in the Entry that this isn't a serious candidate for the Edited Guide so could you please remove this from the Edited Guide Writing Workshop?

I intend to have a laugh and share it with people!

Footnotes in footnotes maybe ok but it's not best practice.

Having a laugh and sharing is fine... but surely that purpose would be better served by the Under Guide?
