One freaking word.

And that took twenty minutes of research and much debate over whether to use the verb I wanted, because of when it came into use (1825, in relation to boxing) and would it have made it to household usage in the 1880′s. I swear. Writers.

(Meaning me. YMMV.)

Pierce Egan published Boxiana, in case you didn't find it. (earlier than 1825)

Oh, gosh. Didn't think of drilling any deeper than I had. Thanks!

I'm sorry!!! :-D

[msisolak]

As if you have anything to apologize for! :) Readers are always right--in terms of their own reactions. It's my job to manipulate yours and direct them down a certain path. The power!!! ;)

Congratulations on your word. It's an infinte improvement over no words, no writing. :)

Can't help you with the number of schooldays left - except that now I'm writing this, it's Friday and only 79 days, right? ;)

You're right--one word *is* an improvement. I have to remind myself that I am writing, even if it's low word output. Getting back into the swing of things is not the easiest, either. :)
