Apologies if everyone knew this and it was a sitewide bit but I did not and now I feel kinda gross for having used it

EDIT: Converted to an archive link out of concerns about direct linking to reactionary site, mea culpa

To clarify: this is NOT the silly letter quote, that was very real

I don't know anything about SDL but we literally have that quote as a site tagline and I see it here all the time, I went to go find the origin and found this. Apologies if I posted a bad source, truly don't know anything about them

We have both - seeing this one (or maybe a variation on it) this morning was what prompted me to actually go find the source, I was curious. Is there anywhere to see a list of taglines?
