Subject: Re: ink pen



OK, I guess I'll fold my tents (or my tense, at the case may be) and slink

away. It seemed like a nice idea when someone posted the theory on

alt.usage.english, but at the same time too good to be true, and evidently it

was. "Ink pen", to the extent that it occurs at all, is not (or at least not

systematically) a neutralization-driven homonymy-avoidance device. Sigh.
