INTERNET - Linguists were excited when the New England Revolution announced that they would enter a team in the MLS Next Pro league called New England Revolution II, Too.
“We’re so excited that the front office of the team is keeping the original Revolution II, while also having another youth team that is also Revolution II but different than the original,” stated Professor Jefferson Torrence, director of Symbology and Linguistics at Harvard of Toledo. “It's the Revolution II, Too, or the Revolution II, As Well. I am very excited about this new intersection of language and sporting teams. It really allows a fully esoteric branch of naming conventions.”
Sources say that the team worked with experts to identify a way to delineate between the Revolution II and the Revolution II, Too and felt that this was a clear way to chart a path forward.
“I’m very impressed they didn’t do the trite Revolution II.5 that we here in the linguistics community were expecting,” stated Professor Tony Williams. “This is a clear definition, but also an artful display of language. The comma usage alone is absolutely top class. As we all know, when using the word too, you only need to use a comma before it for emphasis. According to The Chicago Manual of Style, a comma before too should be used only to note an abrupt shift in thought. This comma usage clearly delineates between Revolution II in USL League One and Revolution II, Too in MLS Next Pro.”
