--xekcediparereno: x1 is a topic of conversation, x2 is discussion of
discussion of that topic, x3 is discussion of THAT, x4 is discussion of
that, the most recent that that is, x5 is talking about THAT next that
(...while that infinite explanation bridi continues to be spoken in your
imagination, I'd like to side-ly so-to-speak talk to you about "la'edi'u"
which I think is too long don't you agree?, and which I use in place of it
"lau" which by ordinary authorities is suggested to be used for something
else, and which is really used for very few important things and which
however still probably you're mad at be for using for something else and
which I wish you'd invent something better to replace "la'edi'u" which,
again, I really do believe is too long. So, that's that, returning
attention to the infinite bridi...), and xinfinity is discussing lauHHxxm,
sorry, THAT thing I just said.
