Wow, that is great, Zed--good for you!
Love,

P.S.--Can a verb be an eponym? Could we say her name has been eponized?

"Lynch" comes to mind. Or, of more recent vintage, "bork".

Thank you. And, hey, mav, I think you've got it (yes, I did): she's an eponess, not at epon-hym.

I did some research on this, and found that grammage has been replaced by REAM Density Examination And Recording, a protocol for testing a ream of paper to determine its density, abbreviated ReamDEAR. Yup, Grammage got run over by a ReamDEAR.
