Did you know that a deaf lip-reader (deprived of visual context) cannot distinguish between “elephant juice” and “I love you” ?
I learned this from my WordSmith word-o-the-day e-mail. The technical term for such parssing ambiguities is "homophene."

In the CP context of the former, I can see the (not very KSS) connection. "![Elephant | [mastadon]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/elephant.gif) " juice"

...but what are the odds you'll ever ask for a nice, tall, refreshing glass of elephant juice...?

"Great Scott" is a very apt phrase to use there.
Intention, or coincidence?

It was a coincidence. Wow! Didn't even think about it until I read your comment.

Well, apart from your typo, a more common format would be 22-02-2022 in which form it is palindromic and the last palindromic date using only two different digits for over a thousand years. (The last one was about 3 months ago on 02-02-2020). (Happy to be proven wrong if I am!)

Don't panic, I'd only ever use that as a display format!

Hi, I have a need to link two xaml windows due to a constraint on xml processing. Instead of sending one xml request, I have to send two.
I have some some research, and there is not a whole lot on doing this. I found an article that discussed:
How can i combine multiple XAML files using C# in WPF? - Stack Overflow[^]
Can anyone steer me in the right direction? I just want to run one xaml window then the next.
I put them into my project and nothing happened. I did not receive an error, but nothing happened.
