About
This Issue

This issue might be subtitled, The Word Usage Issue as four of the five contributions in the Articles section cover usage, dictionaries, and just plain strange words and phrases.  Gareth Penn continues his string of 41 consecutive contributions to The Ecphorizer with a story about a gun.  Sharon Dario checks in with a bit of poetry and Lottie Fish-Bate continues unabated in her attempt to prove that writing can be Brownian motion.  Then-Editor Dick Amyx elevated Lottie's ramblings to the "Satire" department.

Note:  The Editor at the time, against the advice of the staff at the time, decided to add an Editorial in the space where short contributors' biographies were printed.  It is for this reason that the little "About" sidebars in this online version are empty.  We hope that these bios will return in the near future.

We're still trying to recollect why The Ecphorizer needed a Treasurer back then.  There was no cooking of the books and the income from subscriptions pretty much matched the expenses of printing and mailing.
