Did you know?
     Centuries ago, whenever manuscript writers inserted special instructions or explanations 
     into a book, they put them in red ink to set them off from the black used in the main 
     text. (They used the same practice to highlight saints' names and holy days in calendars, 
     a practice which gave us the term "red-letter day.") Ultimately, such special headings or 
     comments came to be called "rubrics," a term that traces back to "ruber," 
     the Latin word for "red." While the printing sense remains in use today, 
     "rubric" also has an extended sense referring to any class or category under which 
     something is organized.
