you should teach middle school writing, steph. I spend an INORDINATE amount of time making that precise symbol on kid's papers.

Try editing a pharmaceutical article written by people whose first (and possibly second) language is NOT English. Some days, as long as they remembered to put a verb in most of the sentences, I don't mind chopping their papers up into paragraphs. But some days, it's like Faulkner -- if his primary languages were Russian and Japanese -- wrote a pharmaceutical article in english.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶ = pure editor porn.
Or, well, maybe just me. I can't claim to be representative of any group, including editors.
Actually, I think the beautiful majestic semicolon is editor porn. See:

Oh yeah, baby. That's the stuff. Partially separate and partially link my phrases. Oh, yeah.
t edit No, I *don't* actually wonder why I never get laid. Believe me, I *know.* Semicolons and Batman and Macs, oh my!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I have, however, dropped "graf" (for "paragraph") in favor of the paragraph symbol itself. It's sleek.
DH uses "graf" in everyday speech. But as long as I say "co-pro" (for "co-production") I'm not allowed to mock him for it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
This weekend? I asked a girl out, and she said yes.
SCOOOOOOOOOOLAAAAAAA!! Yay for good news.
It almost makes up for all the stabbiness at work today.
Also, I now have the following jingle in my head: "KYW! Newsradio! Ten SixTEEEEEEEE!" The odd part is that it's an East Coast station that starts with K.
