You and your hyphens, J-u-a-n!

Well, then, do you want to put the word back together as the Hogmaster® so deems?

No, I don't want to put the word back together, W-O'N. I sent tsuwm some ketch craft, which is altogether different from ketchcraft.

Stupid word. Bet we get a bunch of armadillos again.

So, then, like I said...ketch-kraft.

(that's according to a reverse transition of the Faldagian Theory of Hypenated Gestations...ketchkraft, ketch-kraft, ketch kraft [and vice versa]).

sorry to have to insert the ugly head of obviousization into this little tiff (not skiff!), but what WW obviously meant to say is that ketch craft is altogether different from ketchkraft. H-T-H.

Now hold on there! You just wait a minute!...she went back and changed the "k" in kraft to "c"...I saw that, Dub-Dub! And I pasted your new post over with the second "k" in ketchkraft changed to "c" as well in your over-zealousness to cover your tracks! So with that smoking-gun as evidence, I rest my case. Even if the intended sematic is different, the Faldagian Theory of Hyphenated Gestations still holds. Skiffling along...

And furthermore...since I was, evidently, the first one to introduce the "k" spelling, your argument holds up even less! [looking-around-and-hoping-nobody-notices-while-I-slink-out-of-here e]

J-U-A-N:

I ha'e not idea what this is all about. I first wrote:

Just sent you a bit of ketch craft, tsuwm...
...

And I an't changed anythin' and I an't covered any tracks or changed anythin'...or coverd any tracks...and so on...

I jus' meant what I said:

I sent tsuwm a bit o' ketch craft. And that's exactly how I meant it and that's exactly how I'll stand by wot I sent 'im. But I an't sayin' nothin' else or I'll give me daffination away...

You sure you already haven't? one down, and a few more to go...ho hum...

And are you sure it wasn't kvetch-craft? 'Cause look at you, kvetching all over the place!
