Another mathy person. You ladies are looking for logic in English. That's illogical.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Spike's Bitches 34: They're All Slime and Antlers
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Hee! I laughed and the dog freaked out. I think I'm not supposed to laugh when no one else is home.
Though it's been said that I "over-edit."
Pffft. I went and looked at an excerpt at Ellora's cave and was horrified. They need someone to "over-edit." Of course, we will not give them our secret over-editrix weapon.

Yeahl lisah, but we were just discussing your errors in judgment in LJ. Besides, everyone knows musicians are on the drugs.

Columbia Guide to Standard American English:
Publicly is the usual spelling; publically does occur, but rarely in Edited English.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Timelies!!
Much ~ma for Matt & Nora & whomever else.
