This page used to be for Fun with language, mostly the English language or interesting variants of it.  I kept adding to it over the years until it grew into a big ugly monster.  So then I killed it.  Not all at once, but little by little.  I took its arms and legs, and its fingers and toes, and planted them in a new garden.
