it's true. huck finn has been kicking my ass. totally. all of those slanguage spellings screwed up my workflow, mostly because i didn't have the discipline to be rigorous about adhering to the correct order while doing the tasks. (in the past, violations of that ordering had few ill effects; but they were serious here due to those spelling variants.) at any rate, i have finally wrestled from under the bottom, and i'll soon be kicking huck's ass instead of vice-versa... there's a new version up, but i'll have a better one soon;
