Market details:
Interpret "sentence" loosely, it can be just a word or phrase
I will pick the answer with the most votes (and resolve the market in that answer's favour)
I will correct punctuation and spelling errors unless you tell me not to
I will stop doing this if the story gets boring, or offensive or something
I also reserve the right to pick the second best answer if the top one is silly, or we get a load of single words in a row or something
