Hey, Mr. 'Cat -

From personal experience, I can tell you that, at most, a man can, with a sword, kill a maximum of 415 people per day - and by the end of that day, his arm will be so sore that he will still be feeling it a week later.

So, whilst one could dispatch the entire population of Ephraim WI in a day, it would take another 101 person-days, at least, to butcher the other 41,647 - not counting recovery time.

Not a small task at all, which is why correct pronunciation is SO important.

Bless you!
