According to Oxford Dictionary of Literary Terms, hiatus (from the Latin “hiare,” meaning “gape”) is
A break in pronunciation between two adjacent vowels, either within a word (forming two distinct syllables, as in “doing,” rather than a diphthong such as “joint”) or between the end of one word and the beginning of the next (e.g. “the expense” rather than the elision of “th’expense”).
But according to pillbox, it’s a wonderful time where we get to sit back, relax, and not publish anything! We didn’t rest on our laurels (“a small evergreen tree that has shiny, dark green leaves and black berries,” according to the Cambridge Academic Content Dictionary); we strived to keep pillbox ever improving. From now on, every page from one to 20 has the official pillbox editor quality guaranteed perfection seal (“a fish-eating aquatic mammal with a streamlined body and feet developed as flippers, that returns to land to breed or rest,” according to google.com).
