Tiki Spelling & Grammar Police - Bilge

When I'm talking about a mug or carving it's tiki. It's a minor difference but something of a compromise. I could rant that if something is referred to as tiki it must have a tiki or I could do something else with my time and assume the object referred to as tiki is Tiki. Whether or not this is correct writing I kinda don't give a damn, and I give less of a damn if my definition isn't the same as someone else's.
