Nuncupating Nimcompoopery
By virtue of showing up in second-hand shops and thrift stores, some gift books appear not have been quite as treasured as the givers may have hoped.
Procedural note: While Deuce of Clubs realizes that what we're dealing with are book inscriptions rather than book dedications, the traditional punning section title approach favored Dedicated to the One I Love over Inscripticateded to the One I Love. Sorry. Your forbearance is appreciatededed.
Procedural note 2: While Deuce of Clubs does not realize that these notes are not in the strictest sense Procedural, DoC does realize that there is no such word as inscripticateded, nor even inscripticated.
Procedural note 3: Forbearance is in fact a real word; it's just little recognized and less practiced in this our modern world, and even less on this our glorious website.
