 | This page in a nutshell: Sooner or later, someone always invokes the Infobox Wars. Resistance is futile. |
The Iron Law of Infobox Ubiquity was first proposed (as far as historians can discern) on June 6, 2018.[1] In its modern formulation it states that
| “ | In any sufficiently long Wikipedia discussion, sooner or later someone is bound to invoke the Infobox Wars. Then Nazis. Then infoboxes and Nazis. | ” |
The Iron Law of Grammar Goofs[2] is
| “ | Your most likely to make a grammar error when discussing someone else whose made one. | ” |
Corollary 1:
| “ | Ones almost as likely to do so when apologizing for ones own grammar error. | ” |
