For Quora writers who have over 1000 answers: What is your favorite answer you have written?

Just hit 1000, so now I can answer this, forsooth.

I like many of my answers. I love the answers where I get to do my own reasoning in linguistics, based only on a couple of Wikipedia references. I love the answers where I get to do silly drawings. I love the answers where I give shout outs to people I’ve come to count as friends. I love the answers where I tell rambling anecdotes, as a way of getting to the point of the question.

The answer I think I love the most is the one where the rambling anecdote was the point of the question.

Nick Nicholas’ answer to How can one summarize the Watergate scandal to a kid?

I haven’t done a cartoon version of this. Yet. It would be a glorious think if I did; I’ve already practiced the Nixon ski-slope nose on a stick figure.
