My proofreader hat needs a dusting-off, apparently. :( My fandomgiftbox submission needs a couple edits!

*nods* Screen readers, especially those who grok only English, can be a right PAIN when working in other languages!

Onyhoo, I've been an Esperantist for, well, over half a century. At some point I decided I wanted a minced oath that was satisfying to say but wasn't gross or truly offensive. "Sankta mardo en semajno" has eight syllables in a good punchy trochaic tetrameter, and means literally "Holy Tuesday in a week". But if you change the second letter of "mardo" to "e"...
