I just assumed that she wanted to give that a better chance of being landed on.

OK, maybe I'm just showing my age, but caisson got 31% leaguewide? It took me half a day to get that song out of my head after reading the question. I will note that it clearly wasn't an issue of spelling since my answer of cason was accepted. I had no idea the word "caisson" was in the s...
