Constitutional Characters. A systematic set of names for Major and Minor pieces.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

I found this item a complete waste of time. Why should one person's list
of names for chess units be of interest -- when totally unconnected to any
significant body of work or original contribution? If anywhere, a list of
idiosyncratic piece name proposals belongs in an obscure discussion
forum.

I am stunned by the lack of editorial standards implicit in adding this
type of material as a 'contribution'. Gee, I thought any CV designer
would have a huge list of unused piece names. 

I generally agree with FD's points concerning the use and abuse of
language. Although I do find affected pseudo-learned illiteracies amusing
as all heck, as well as a great time saver when reading.
