2 These memos can be a bit confusing to read at first because they use the POOPS (Perfect Official Organizing Punctuation System) of Atlantis.

3 By the mid-afternoon of the day of Atlantis ¹, the leader of the Atlantean civilization had realised that use of the POOPS had not gained a iota of popularity on outside continents and was hindering Atlantis' capacity to influence civilizations outside of its borders. Under recommendations from Goddess Eris Kallisti Discordia, they made an attempt at adopting the outside world punctuation system.
4 Here is the first, and last, Atlantean memo ever written not using POOPS.

For immediate action.

It has come to our attention that residents of Atlantis do not know how to swim. We have been advised by trustworthy sources that any and all residents of the continent of Atlantis should have passed at least their beginner level swimming class by midnight. Given no Atlantean knows how to swim at the present moment, you will be advised once instructors that know how to swim have been located and are available to give class.

5 Without proper time to practice and with the common resistance to change characterising most human civilizations. It turns out not a single Atlantean resident read that memo. Even O.D. Edith, who typed the memo was so confused by this irrational punctuation system that she did not understand the meaning of what she was typing.
6 The Atlantean government should have known better than to trust the Goddess of chaos.

7 But then governments never learn, otherwize they would disband themselves.

1 (go back)    Everybody knows that the sun never sets on the continent of Atlantis. As such, the whole existence of this civilization is historically written has having happened in only one day. As such, midnight corresponds to the end of the world in Atlantis eschatology. As such, you would know as such if you had read any of my 3 theses. As such, how often can one repeat as such in the same paragraph before it losses its meaning. If it ever had any meaning as such to start with. As such.

Other than that it makes clowns talk funny

It is, moreover, very difficult to explain in any other way why there should be so much helium in the universe.
