GAH!!!!!!! You...you...used THAT NON-word!!! OH!!!
How COULD you! I am NOT, and never will be one of those!


Now, what word could possibly be upsetting my all-time favourite ayleur so much? I had no idea that you felt such antipathy toward the notion of being a "contributor," Jackie. I am sure that your fellow ayleurs will rally around to make you feel better, that's what ayleurs do isn't it? Especially for a beloved senior ayleur like, you, Jackie. May I say that you are looking particularly ayleuring today?

No, you may NOT, sir!

Hey! (I am now about to reveal one of my peculiar quirks:
odd turns of mind.) It just occurred to me that our title backwards is hab-hoop. Hab hoop, will travel? (Oh, dear, I need more sleep.)

this week: words from ayleurs (they're sorta like contributors... :)

I wonder how many people are now going to try to find "ayleurs" in the dictionary! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Tsuwm's mad plot proceeds!

tsuwm,

I am happy you included Nicholas's 'unseven.' It's a wonderful word, one which I will await a decade, probably, to drop at a cocktail party. But I am equally distressed at your attribution.

a. I figgured if'n I done coined it, it din't need no RinaCircle. My lawyers thank yer lawyers.
2. Unlike members of a certain Latinate-language-speaking community in western Europe across the English Channel from the Southern Motherland, I have no problem with your attempting Southern US'n speech. A for effort (keep it as a past-tense marker).

>...it din't need no RinaCircle.

as you seem to have actually® overlooked the marketing possibilities of the lattermost© word, I have taken the opportunity to have my barristers see to the registering™ of "rinacircle®" (with or w/o caps)

My lawyers will be talking with your lawyers about the premature use of RinaCircle™ with the registered mark (®) appended to it. Meanwhile my lawyers have applied to the Imperial Commission on Weights, Measures and Biological Warfare for registered trademark status on RinaCircle. We will consider selling the rights to AnnaStrophic Enterprises, Pty. and to no others upon granting of registered status.
