The Englishman and the Irishman...
'English writers for the most part try to follow Orwell's dictum that prose should be a pane of clear glass through which you look. But Irish writers think of prose style as a distorting lense. We love that ambiguity; we love that a word can have three or four meanings at the same time.'
2005 Man Booker Prize winner John Banville

Yes it is (I do get it). Now cough up the license fee for that intellectual property.
