 This word 'Esaat' resembles, barely, 'Essay' from our English language.
 (Sometimes called 'S.A.")  >>


Hm.  I have a theory on this one.  I believe this is a product of a 
lightweight "language" trend now being initiated to parallel the trend toward 
packing light.

Since it was a call for comment on an Appalachian Trail matter, it became 
shortened from "Essay on Appalachian Trail" to "Esaat."  By dropping all the 
extra letters (including the redundant "S" <-- Danes are always on the Swedes 
for their excessive use of consonents and their favorite is "s," it 
seems....but you weren't looking for a dissertation on how the Danes, whose 
own language is a mess, by the way, view the Swedish language, now were you?) 
 So back to the subject at hand....

While "EsaAT" might have been clearer, Kahley is serious in her intentions to 
lighten up and so shunned the extra weight of the capital letters.  She's the 
Queen of Tuckerization, and we could all learn a thing or two.

Either that, or she missed some keys in her rush -- you know how it can get 
when you're waiting for a privy [answer].  ;-)
