It takes a nimble tongue to go back and forth between the two forms.

Is that something you just did, as in <RED>, or something you are inviting us to do, as in <REED>? Anyway, I gave it a try myself and I'm still tied up. Do you suppose there is any connection between "lipse" and "ellipsis", I mean, apart from the fact that they are both embarrassing slips? You must be reading Chaucer again, Wordwind.

It was interesting to learn that 'lipse' is another form for 'lisp.' Cool. Then I tried saying each, back and forth, and realized it's a great tongue-twisper, and not necessarily a twhispered twisper.
