   Ack, I hate that.
   Also:
   Onomasiology (from Greek: ὀνομαζω (onomazō) — to name, which in turn is from ὀνομα — name) is a branch of linguistics concerned with the question “how do you express X?” It is in fact most commonly understood as a branch of lexicology, the study of words (although some apply the term also to grammar and conversation).
   Do you spend all of your free time finding these words? 😉

   heh, nice guess, but far more mundane (and unfashionable, it would appear).

   If this is an issue with which you need assistance, you know whom to ask. If it’s just generic irritation, yes, I’ve felt it many a time.

   Kausik, if I had the print copy it wouldn’t be a problem… although that glossy paper can be a bit scratchy, don’t you find?
   Thanks Heather. The moment has passed.
