I don't think anyone would darshen lashon hedyot in the manner we're
discussing -- with the 13 or 19 middos. Rather, as is spelled out in the
cases in the Tosefta, they were maqpidim on the *peshat* of the words
rather than reconstructing intent.

In Y-mi Megillah we're talking gezeiros shavah, extra letters, etc...

Tir'u baTov!
