About Reqlarity

reqlarity | rē-klar′-ĭ-tē | /riːˈklær.ɪ.ti/ noun | plural reqlarities.

Etymology: Early 21st century. From Latin re- (again, repeatedly) + clarity (clearness), with orthographic rebellion via substitution of 'q' for 'c'. See also: qlarity, pretentious startup naming conventions, vowel shortage of 2024.

Metaphor: Think of reqlarity as organisational windshield wipers - you set the clear view at journey's start, but road spray, bug splatter, and the accumulated grime of travel constantly blur the vision. Reqlarity is both the initial clarity and the repeated clearing strokes that restore it.
