> I'd suggest spending more time studying words to relive your extremism.

Should one study words to relive extremism? Or should one study words to relieve extremism?

To a doctor of linguistics: "Dr, my extremism... What should I do about it - with words?!? Please help."

That is the question.

Does the doctor answer thusly: "Study the words to relive the extremism! There is your answer!" says he.

or does he say: "Study the words to relieve and soothe the painful, abrasive extremism. Do it twice daily, before meals."

Sage advice in either case methinks.
