Today has been a long day: I’m on East Coast time (i.e., up at 4:00 AM<\/font>, at work by 5:30 AM<\/font> for telecons that run from 6:00 AM<\/font> to 2:00 PM<\/font>) this week, and working to catch up on all the vacation-accumulated debris.

Is there a formal name for such words?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
