I basically figured that "nim" stood for the singular form of the all-important "non-important message," while NIM is the collective term for the nim as a whole. For example, "the NIM Rebellion (collective whole) writes lots of nims (singular, non-possessive)." Does that make sense? I just made it up on the spot. Not bad, eh?
P.S. Indiana Jones was our inspiration for nims. I'd like to take this moment to thank him.
