Quote:It's probably more on the order of... doing it once without knowledge that she doesn't like the abbreviation anymore (and hasn't in most people's memory) is one thing. Repeating it may cause her to pull out her hair, or use a goober gun.
This implies that she was initially okay with that shorthand (which is assuming facts not in evidence at the moment) but isn't after a certain point in time (which one would assume is after Dee the AI is born, if only to avoid confusion between them). Of course, Murphy's luck is such that he'd probobly get goobed reguardless! (assuming that there was ever a reason why a second tier fen like Murph would be working with a SMOF like Diedre anyway)
Hear that thunder rolling till it seems to split the sky?

NO QUARTER!!!
