       VM

       If we don't realize there are exceptions to the 'i before e,
       except after c' rule and misspell a word like feisty as fiesty,
       for example, could we call that a vowel movement?
       What if you have a lot of vowel movements, should you have an
       exam? Or only if it gets to be painful?

       I think you should because it could turn into a full-blown
       irritable vowel syndrome.

       What about the Great Vowel Shift?  That was a VM that lasted 300
       years.
       It was a relief when that was over, I can tell you.

       I give it the space of time it takes me to read a Reader's
       Digest article.  If the movement isn't finished by then I take a
       metamucil.
