Huh, I immediately thought "main frame" as in the computer server, which also works in context.

Thanks for not changing it. This way, there's the 'risk' that we 'Merikans might learn something outside our borders.

Love the strip.

It's only Americans that haven't had any interaction with British media. I am not one of those, thankfully. After watching a few seasons of Torchwood and the good Doctor, I'm well aware of what the mains are.

I don't know if I'm unusual for Americans or what, but *I* knew what you meant. It says explicitly that it's British SciFi Humor, so it should be "mains."

Hey, if I wanted to learn a foreign language, I'd pick a more useful one!

This storyline has been pure comic genius so far! About "the mains", I didn't really know what you were talking about at first, but it was really easy to figure out. I mean, what else would you plug electronic equipment into to make it work?

Thanks for leaving it scripted as it is! :-) I don't have anything against American English (or English for Dummies, as I call it! ;-) (only teasing, Americans!)) I mean, most of the media I consume these days is in American English. But it's reassuring to see an example of the promotion of British English (or 'English', as it's more correctly known! lol), because while American English is more suited to action, I think British English lends itself better to comedy.
