Which of these do you think I mean when I use the word "devious"? If you've seen anything related to Project DV, obviously, this word comes up quite often. I've been thinking about it for a little while now...and since I have so many projects in mind and so many things I want to go public in the future...I'm wondering how the general mass will react to my usage of the word "devious".
Whatever the reaction, I do admit I'll never change it.
It's been the word I've always used.
Devious.

The meanings I use are "indirect in departing from the accepted or proper way", "deviating" and thusly "deviating from a straight course".

I'm gonna touch up on this sometime. There's a LOT I want to talk about.
