14. Emacs Manuals Are Cryptic and Surreal
13. Even My Aunt Crashes the System
12. Extensibility and Modifiability Aggravate Confirmed Simpletons
11. Emetic Macros Assault Core and Segmentation
10. Equine Mammals Are Considerably Smaller
9. Exceptionally Mediocre Autocratic Control System
8. Easily Maintained with the Assistance of Chemical Solutions
7. Embarrassed Manual-Writer Accused of Communist Subversion
6. Edwardian Manifestation of All Colonial Sins
5. Every Mode Accelerates Creation of Software
4. Excavating Mayan Architecture Comes Simpler
3. Epileptic MLisp Aggravates Compiler Seizures
2. Elsewhere Maybe All Commands are Simple
