   You'll recall this all started with, and I quote, a "pet peeve".  In   
   other words, it's a peeve.  It's not the biggest most nastieset thing   
   in the world I can't handle it if anybody ever says "Wiki" to mean   
   "Wikipedia" or I'll just *S*C*R*E*A*M*.  It's just a peeve.  And yes,   
   I'm right, and no, it's honestly not that important, and nor was it   
   ever.
