Just as an addendum, my friend (hope it's okay to call you that!) @fillups44 pointed out that I titled a section "Testes" with absolutely no explanation. First, fillups pointed this out in the kindest possible way, giving me every out to not have to admit that I titled a section, in effect, "Balls."

What happened is, I had a German teacher who started calling tests "testes" as in "take out your lil' testes", like a cute thing, and once she realized what she said, she was horrified.

I meant to explain this in the newsletter, and somewhere along the way, this got lost in the very tangy sauce.

Let's all look to fillups as a positive example: You can point out a typo or potential error in a kind way that does not make the writer feel bad whatsoever.

Let's all look to me as a negative example: If you title a section "nutsack" or equivalent, you should probably explain it.
