Subject: I figured as much.

It sounds like we have different exposure to the word 'ringlets'. Without checking... no, scratch that, I will check.

Wikipedia claims the style dates back to roughly the burning of the Temple in Jerusalem (AD 70), and has wandered around ever since. For the most part, it seems to evoke a historical look - or a 'stuck-up little girl' appearance, probably because of the historical associations.

So my suspicion is that you and I simply have different enough fields of reading that I've come across the word a fair number of times, and you haven't as much. So I think of it as a normal description, and you see it as unusual. Both of us are right - we're just right in different contexts.

As to which context the PPC fits into, I think the only reasonable way to determine that is a duel to the deaf. Whoever screams loudest wins.

... or we could just not. :P
