- This is not academic. One of my good-Karma days just having
- passed, the one before this arose, I had that word down in a
- posting-to-be. I've used it my whole life, nearly, without
- ever having thought about its root meaning. But this time I
- saw it and edited it out.

- marks" against you, and innumerable other examples. It's a
- personal choice, but mine is to get rid of it. One can
- certainly say what one means, I think, without using it.
