User:SOTO/Forum Archive/The Reference Desk/@comment-6433721-20130309172853/@comment-6433721-20130315112329 Sorry - what I was attempting to convey is that the pause between Anglican and marines in the cadence of his speech is the same as the other pauses. I assumed that meant that the Fat One meant to:
 * 1) Describe himself and the Thin One as Anglicans who are marines.
 * 2) Describe the force as marines who belong to the Church, which is Anglican.

I was quite confused to find that some interpret it:
 * Declare the entire force to have proper name "Anglican Marines".

This line is the first since the introduction of the military Church where they defined the military Church as Anglican, and I think that was the point, not that the specific force there was Anglican. In any case, sure looks like you either need to split a hair or speculate to call this a proper term.
