Wordplay

I had to edit the Islam Expedient post because I had erroneously used the words subtle and subliminal as adjectives of the same noun. Subliminal, from the Italian words sub (=under) and lamina (=surface), and Subtle, from sub and tile, are synonyms. They are basically the same word.

Yes, I'm obsessive.
