Done... and I resisted the urge to make up a word which (claimed to be) derived from Hawaiian.

So, if I splain y'all what SI means do I get accused of missing the joke?

*ahem* Let me rephrase:
Definitions will be posted November 12th, or possibly the 13th.
SI - self-induced?

I didn't really intend any joke, other than feigning(?) obtuseness -- SI is published weekly.

Any Southern Intellectual worth a pittance knows that SI refers to
Le Système International (SI) the World stardard of measurements.
"What is the SI unit of time?" you might ask.
The SI definition of a second is based on the radiation from the caesium-133 atom.
It is defined as "the duration of 9,192,631,770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the caesium-133 atom."
According to my calculations we players have almost exactly 832,482,192,337,228 oscillations to get our definitions in.
(Note to Hogmaster: I think you put the apostrophe in "sen'night" in the wrong place. It looks stupid where it is.)

An apostrophe stands in for missing letters in an abbreviation. "se'nnight" is an abbreviation of "sevennight". Whether or not you think it looks stupid is irrelevant.

So saith the tsuwm, who decides what is relevant. May God forgive him.

What tsuwm said; the first Tuesday was the zeroth night. Besides, she owes us a couple of days from last time she hogmastered.
