Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Teppy!
Remember once that you had a piece about how "writing was always a part of you, or rather how you have always been a part of writing"? A friend of mine, who writes, talked today about her writing, from very early childhood, about how she always felt it's something that belongs to her, and I brought your sentence up, talking about how she always felt connected to the world of writing. So, thanks, I guess.
Now, "perforce" -- that's a different story....
That's a source control system, and it is heard often around here.
How about "perambulate"?
I've tried with this place...honest. I even pretended I could decorate. Still no real home. I have a hometown in theory, could even ride by my high school and be true to it, if I didn't think that was the most reactionary sentiment on God's green earth... Still feel homeless, if not houseless.

Same here, although we pronounce "Perforce" (the source control system) differently to "perforce".
Perchance is totally cromulent. I think I'm overusing fiefdom and aegis though. I'm switching to purview.

Nilly! First, I'm *very* touched that you remember that line! Really. And second, you're welcome!
What about "persnickety"?

I'm pretty sure that's in our mission statement.
you remember that line
It just rang so lovely, like "if nothing that you do matters, all that matters is what you do" in the sense that it made and the sense in its sound, you know?
Also, English has words that are just fun to say out loud, even if I have no idea what half of the words you're typing may mean.

That's the whole background to persnickety right there. It's a sequence of syllables that just had to be said, and eventually folks decided it needed a definition, and chose to use it to describe the people who didn't get the joy of saying it.
Or, well, something not at all like that.
