     Good advice.  Though, I don't think it goes quite far enough...

     No, it is kkkkkkk-niggit, as in you silly one.  Also, from 
     the dialog of the immortal Alice and the immortal Humpty-Dumpty:

      "When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in
      a rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose
      it to mean--neither more nor less.
      "The question is," said Alice, "whether you *can*
      make words mean different things."
      "The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which
      is to be master--that's all."

     Seems to be the only sensible explanation of all that preceded
     it.
