I must of been staring at that picture for a good 10 minutes before I decided to start reading other people's posts.
Im glad I'm not the only one that doesn't get it.

My guess is the bad grammar is supposed to be ironic for a dictionary published. 
"We go to Eleven" should be "We're going to Eleven."
-=Lohrno
"We go to Eleven" should be "We're going to Eleven."

Obviously the majority of you have never seen This is Spinal Tap. I'm ashamed of all of you (minus Syndaen).

Merriam-Webster is humorously implying their new dictionary is better because they "go to eleven!" Eleventh edition, volume eleven...Kudo wrote:I still dont get it

I get it!
THIS IS SPINAL TAP is the best rock movie ever made.
Nigel is my hero:
Marty DiBergi: Oh, I see. And most amps go up to ten?
Nigel Tufnel: Exactly.
Marty DiBergi: Does that mean it's louder? Is it any louder?
Nigel Tufnel: Well, it's one louder, isn't it? It's not ten. You see, most blokes, you know, will be playing at ten. You're on ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you're on ten on your guitar. Where can you go from there? Where?
Marty DiBergi: I don't know.
Nigel Tufnel: Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do?
Marty DiBergi: Put it up to eleven.
Nigel Tufnel: Eleven. Exactly. One louder.
Marty DiBergi: Why don't you just make ten louder and make ten be the top number and make that a little louder?
Nigel Tufnel: [Pause] These go to eleven.

I think it's very funny!
Who knew lexicographers were so sassy!
Thank you for posting that, Vaemas! Don't let the uncultured masses get to you!

admit it, VERY loose connection. ADMIT IT!!
Posted: September 17, 2003, 8:56 pm
75% of the words from the quote and the news title match. Also, read that last sentence in the picture. I'm standing my ground!
Posted: September 17, 2003, 8:58 pm
It is indeed funny, i never saw that movie but maybe i should

I saw it a few days ago and instantly thought of Spinal Tap.
Some of you need more culture!

Spinal Tap is classic, a must see if you haven't and worth a good watch again even if you have.
Personally I like one word review "shit-sandwich" "Can they print that?" and Paul Schaffer saying... "kick my ass, no kick it, kick my ass" there there is the scene when they all have cold sores... haha, got to love it!

"Do you hear that?"
"I'm not hearing anything"
"...well you would, if I were playing"

The connection is loose, but it was the first thing I thought of.
The movie is a classic though.
Stonehenge. That is all
