I just spent the last hour and a half being thoroughly absorbed in reading on the etymology and orthography surrounding various words. Only reason I'm tearing myself away from it now is that I actually have a little bit of work to do, but I'll be back.

I blame this page, and a not insignificant application of this plugin. :)
