Ah, the fun of language. By "enlarge," I meant "lengthen the locution to four or five--or even more--words." Something lyrical, like "butterflies and bunny rabbits." I like the thought of "lepidoptera," though. May 16:

FYI, bil was dotting capital I's in letters to me maybe 20 years ago. It's a device i associate with him, so i included it in my explorations of unicode I-forms, and also turned it on its head, for more fun.

Oh yeah, have you tried plugging your book in your Small Press Review column, or is that too gauche for them?

So bil is the one who (may have) first dotted a capital I. Interesting. As for plugging my haiku book in my Small Press Review, I would except that I sent a review copy to Editor Len Fulton, so don't think it'd be fair for me to plug it in my column, too. No review yet, by the way. I've plugged other books of mine in my column, by the way, and more than few books my press has published. I see nothing wrong with it--it's news from the horse's mouth.

ENTRY: I think his "excitened" may be an error, although I find it interesting, so added the more conventional, "excited."

No, i meant "excitened" to be sort of an anti - "enlightened" -- a bit of a neologism there, though maybe not successful.

Also, that i with three dots turns out to have been previous developed and written by Paloin Biloid, published and described in Issue 1 of his zine Opus Soup.

I will also say that a lot of those pieces were quick drafts or explorations, and i may not keep or present them all as works in a more formal context. It was a lot of fun playing with the unicode symbols in Word (see my last comment to that entry in Geof's blog, where i go crazy with my own signature -- that was fun!). I will say that paloin biloid has been exploring this area more assiduously than i, even if he wasn't doing it in HTML.

Much thanks for the background. May 21:

"unifying principal" or "unifying principle"? (occurs twice)

Suggested corrections correct. I just made them. Thanks. May 25: Here's the full dyptich using construction paper I made in the junior college design class that I brought up yesterday: Is it too busy?

I think it is busy, but it's not bad. I guess that means it's not too busy.

Good. Thanks.
