bingley,
so in the citation "My own King Charles's head is the use of ‘nerve-wracking’ for ‘nerve-racking’.", the sense is that the use of nerve-wracking is a distraction non unlike a 'pet peeve'?

Does this mean I don't have to say that the phrase pet peeve is one of my pet peeves?

Anu the Angel, eh? Hmm... that would validate Father Steve's view of Anu as a non-corporeal being...

re: "My own King Charles's head"
Could this not be a brand name for a nautical toilet? Rather an elaborate device I'd imagine ;-)

But not a very useful one, probably. a) It would demand the right to tax the "salts"; b) It would think that it was divine in it's own right; c) It would certainly refuse to let you try it!

A pretty good name, but wouldn't "King John's" be a better name for a throne?
