Well, he is THAT cute to pass for a ewe.

Plus, if it was a female sheep, it should be named Woolburina or something, d'oh!

Well if Wilbur's all about being different from the flock, then a transgender ewe calling herself Wilbur would fit the plot nicely...

However, technically, a ewe is an adult female sheep, and Wilbur, regardless of his/her gender, or preferences towards gender, is still a mere lamb, so due to age he can't be a ewe until he's fully grown into sheephood.

Or, we could thicken the plot, and have him/her be a transgender mature adult playacting out fantasies of lost childhood dreams...

Yes, it looks preadolescent to me too. Pretty much reminds me of Mary's little lamb.

And in this clip I do wonder why the lamb loves Mary so.

Hi MrP,

I've just noticed that you don't capitalize the word 'internet' which actually makes perfect sense since we also don't capitalize 'email' or 'browser'. But then again, I often see the word 'Internet' capitalized. So what's your take on that?

Many thanks,
Torsten

Hello Torsten,

In a printed text, I would generally capitalise "the Internet", since it's a proper noun.

However, on the thing itself, where so few Is are capitalised, it seems somehow obtrusive.

Best wishes,

MrP
