Abstract
Language is the tool of the skiful word user. At this point, neo-retro civilization can mean timeless civilization. Correctness and tact are the essential elements of merry-making. Any lack of subtlety is to be avoided.
Merry-making is born of sheer linguistic joy. Malice has no part of it. The goal is a smile, even a laugh. Then the tears are genuine tears of joy (and not crocodile tears). And sorrow does not reside deep within anybody.
