He wondered how she knew he had included DLV on the email, since the list of emails were concealed. He doubted she could check server logs. Maybe DLV told someone and that person told Savannah. "Middle Man sure has a big mouth," he mumbled then wrote his reply.

Dear Savannah,
If you check my original email (i.e., please see the highlighted portion below), then you will note I never included the adjective before the word research. I instead described it as vital, which it is. Scientific research often begins with casual inquiry like this to help establish the scope, independent and dependent variables, and methodology. For example, one purpose this survey has is identifying whether further specification of the scenario is warranted.
Below his email was the usual history of the email conversation with the words "vital research" highlighted in yellow. Yellow was the best color for highlighting with. He would keep in mind that if he ever needed a clear email to be misread, he'd ask for Savannah's help.
Then Sheldon chuckled to himself. Because in a few days she'd receive the Sheldonia version of this. He thought it was fitting. It would give her a useful introduction to research methods from a physical activity stand point. It could even be useful for her cheer team coaching days by teaching her how to figure out what the most effective moves are.
Now he had to go find something to purchase to redeem himself for spending money on something as filthy as physical activity research methods.
