I'm quite fond of <pursy-lipped snottyfont> --it's handy for those moments
when you want to convey a certain arch tone of "while I'm using an ironic
inflection to express this, I none-the-less expect a certain amount of
sincere grovelling in your response". Although it doesn't apparently show up
in most browsers, or in FrameMaker or MSWord-- <pursy-lipped snottyfont>an
oversight that will no doubt be taken care of in the next
release</pursy-lipped snottyfont>--most of my readers seem to get it...and I
get my grovelling.

Pursy-lipped-ly,
Mandy
