I feel like we need to take a break for a little bit - say, about a month.  Does that sound okay to you?  I'm still thrilled with our relationship, understand, it's just that I need a little breathing space, and also some time to stop thinking "but there are no p-values!" about everything else I read.  And also to recover from the pain that is

The rising foot "chilis" irks me.

[elanid]

Yep, it's a problem. :P But it's a faintly adorable problem for a piece of doggerel, which is supposed to cheat, after all, so I think I am okay with it. XP

(Also there are no two-syllable synonyms for 'chilis'. At all. In fact, are there even synonyms for 'chilis'?)

(Horrible though it is to say adorable about one's own anything. Uhh. Cheatorific is more what I meant, really. XP)

Wantest thou input beyond heeheehee?

[elanid]

Eh, can't hurt. ^^

The initial 'a' bothers me. I am not sure about the last line; like Lara, I am debounced by it. "the chilis' capsaicin" perhaps?

I think I've driven my ddw group a bit mad by 'polishing' things by rewriting them. It's not that the way they write is bad, it's just easily fixed.

[diatryma]

no, not easily fixed; easily made better.
