Do you think this word was coined describing a person who keeps track of books to be placed on a shelf or a person who keeps track of the revenue and expenses of a company or a person who keeps track of wagers?
Longings, health tips, bird watching, flower picking, ghost town wandering and occasional insanities from a sometimes hungry, sometimes harried, often thrilled, mother (!!!), teacher and writer in Brooklyn.
Nicole Callihan, formerly Nicole Hefner, is a Language Lecturer at New York University and a teaching artist with Teachers & Writers Collaborative in the New York public schools. She lives in Brooklyn with her husband and baby bird.

The symmetry of that word has always bothered me.
(Stream of consciousness note: something about 'symmetry' bother me as well. And 'synergy', when used in a business context.)
