Rats, I wrote a story about a 10 year old boy who perceives a woman's name in a ugly combination of colors including chartreuse. Was that C.I. (color-ifically incorrect)? In my opinion, chartreuse should be legendary - it's so hideous. Men can’t see chartreuse?

And if I might say, your issues with semantics rather endears me to you--as you know from my love of your vocabulary--and so no offense will be taken from me if you should ever ask that. =] Okay, the puppy thing was pretty frickin’ hilarious.
