Yeah, well, unless they were Ulster men (which would likely mean they wouldn't really identify with being Irish), they wouldn't be called MacManus, but McManus. Stupid Troy Duffy. It's always bothered me just a little, so I had to come up with a good explanation for it.

I'm glad you liked the Irish, I have such a weakness for that language. Actually I'm glad that you seemed to just enjoy this story on the whole. Yay for that.
