But for you who doubt, I wish you all a fun day dying and coloring ova or watching hoops or playing pranks or gobbling candy rabbits.

**astorian** , tsk tsk to your orthography. “_ **dying** _ and coloring ova”, not! Lacking a glyph, 1 solitary taboo symbol, your post is unconsciously morbid. You could say “tinting” as a synonym, but not “dying” which has a wrong connotation.

Alas, your criticism is all too valid. I wish I could fix my goof, but I cannot. Sigh.

Your wish to fix such a botch job, although not doable, is still worthy of approval.

Aaaagh! That taboo symbol is in my post #124. So sorry. How about “an option” and not “doabl-”?

Ms. Xmas did you a good turn, for which all us thankful folks now chant hosannas of honor.

Foul-ups occur, for humans cannot do anything with 100% accuracy. So, it’s okay. No harm, no foul.

Thank you, but it is a good thing using symbols for 100%, as said words have four of the taboo symbol going.
