The pen may be mighier than the sword but the shovel is mightier than the pen.

    . . . warhammers are technically polearms . . .

    There were long handled warhammers used by footsoldiers to dismount riders. Because they were very long they could be labled as "Polearms" but they weren't really polearms in the same sense. In the battlefield sense, pole arms are long and pointy things used by tightly packed formations of men to discourage shock action, particularly by cavalry.

    But when one thinks of a warhammer, it's a much shorter weapon similar in length to a sword. These weapons were used by footsoldiers so that they could do something useful against men in armour.

    Valid point. Actual warhammers would look more like a hammer though and we a shock weapon. But in any case, various small arms can be remodeled into a pole to convert to a pole arm.

    I'm surprised that @Blissfulkill hasn't yet chimed in with a pun about poles and arms, lengths of weapons, and hammerin' and such.

    Well, I'll be . . . I had always thought it was blowin' in the wind.

    Well, actually, the difference between Nineteen Twenties and Twenty Twenties is 20.

    Wouldn't the difference be -100?

    That would be the difference between 1920 and 2020, but not Nineteen Twenties and Twenty Twenties.

    But then that would be -20, wouldn't it?
