It says that there are far more Guardians than you've probably heard of. The US is a big country with tens of thousands of independent newspapers, and they're not all named the Times, the Post, the News, the Tribune, or the Picayune Intelligence.
Well, who'da thunk it? What with me being a dumb Brit from an island the size of the average American backyard and all.
That's why I call it the Manchester Guardian; because it isn't the others. Those ones you haven't heard of, in particular. A not-too-obscure Manchester Guardian native to the US was never commonly referred to as such, solely to avoid confusion with the more famous English one - a nicety I don't see much virtue in abandoning now, solely because of a capricious name change in England.
See, it's easy. I ask a question you give an answer, mostly.
Yes, I assumned so but and was seeking confirmation of what I said earlier, nevertheless it's nice to have a hypothesis confirmed. To be fair, I don't actually think the name change was capricious or intended to put the aformentioned, (rarely referred to as such) Manchester Guardian's nose out of joint, I mean, being British and rarely called such I doubt they had even heard of it. I suspect it was merely to reflect it's more national coverage. But then, not having been born at the time, that's not an idea founded on first hand knowledge.
Don't be obtuse. My level of capriciousness is an invariant.
Good, just so we're straight.
