Such conundrums of English. I blame my ex-wife. She rearranged my dictionary, or re- taught an old story: in this book, if you look for alimony, it follows acrimony (nothing between). However, contrition still borders contrivance (if it can be seen). Untruth in her troth sallowed the language, sullied a certain conjugation: how she lied as she lay with me. Apparently her monogamy was too close to monotony. Alas, after parting with that particular lass, I remain a student examining all our words’ gradation: how anniversary now precedes annihilation.
