A few weeks ago when I featured a week of words from the world of law,
I hardly had any inkling of how soon I'll be facing that world in
practice, not just in words.

I un-banned Keiva only after consulting Jackie and both of us agreed
there was no other option. Sorry to know that some are disappointed,
but we do not have time or resources to fight a lawsuit.

This online community of wordlovers is bigger than any one person,
be it Keiva, Jackie, Anu, or anyone else. Let's not make this an
"either him or me" issue. Perhaps we can learn from English -- it accepts words
from all languages whether it's what some consider a "barbaric" tongue,
or a "refined" one. If we do not like a particular word, all we have
to do is ignore it, we do not need to tear out that page from the
dictionary. I do hope Jackie will be back as she has contributed
a lot and we all need her special love sprinkled on the board.

Happy words to all!

A very great part of the mischief that vex this world arises from words.
-Edmund Burke, statesman and writer (1729-1797)
