I'm re-writing this book as a romance novel: "The judge's throbbing . . . gavel sent the parties begging for "mediation."

Can you say "it would be against your interests to buy your second favorite car for $21,000, unless there is something important at stake" (would/is)? Or do you have to say "would/was"? I suddenly got really confused. It's would/was, right?

I love "fisticuffs," but I don't think it's okay to use the word twice in one chapter. hmmm.

Why is dwarfs the plural of dwarf? Why not dwarves? I know there's probably no answer, but I have to ask.

Unfortunately, this might be a boring book. I didn't expect that because one of my favorite professors co-wrote it. Some people are so much better at speaking than writing, but I didn't expect that here.

HAH! Looks like your mind is wandering. Although the wording would make the Romance novel connection hard, uh, to ignore.

Yes, the first edition is a little dry, so we thought a second edition might benefit from caressing before we slowly unfold its petals and thrust in some new language. Sorry, this is getting gross.
Hahaa, no, you're a considerate editor. ;o)
Well, it's not really about the length of the book, you know, but the way it's, um, written.
Indeed. The arguments should cry out with ecstatic, er, consistency.
