You’re welcome. “A SUV” just sounds weird, even in text. Maybe that’s just because I read it out loud when I see it, but either way, it just bugs the hell out of me. It’s like when you have a cast on your arm, or your leg, then it starts to itch, but you can’t do anything about it. It’s like that. It’s annoying. It drives me crazy.

This is from frank Herbert. Not exactly spice, but chaom controls spice too.

"All of this encapsulates the stuff of high drama, of entertainment-and I'm in the entertainment business first. It's all right to include a pot of message, but that's not the key ingredient of wide readership. Yes, there are analogs in Dune of today's events-corruption and bribery in the highest places, whole police forces lost to organized crime, regulatory agencies taken over by the people they are supposed to regulate. The scarce water of Dune is an exact analog of oil scarcity. CHOAM is OPEC."

This is the second one of these in a row that I wanted to respond to in a very similar manner. You see, I wanted to respond with “ your mom is always wet” because I thought it would be hilarious, but then I thought you might not take it that way and become angry so at the last moment I decided not to;)
