What color eyes do Edward Tudor and Tom Canty have in the book The Prince and the Pauper?

The specific eye color of Edward Tudor and Tom Canty is not given in this story.  The text uses the word "eyes" a total of 85 times during the story, so it isn't as if the narrator is ignoring that facial feature.  All that readers are specifically told about Edward's eyes and Tom's eyes is that they are identical looking.  



Thou hast the same hair, the same eyes, the same voice and manner, the same form and stature, the same face and countenance that I bear. Fared we forth naked, there is none could say which was you, and which the Prince of Wales. 



I suppose it doesn't matter what color their eyes are.  The important part of the plot is not their color.  The important part of their eyes (and bodies) is that they are identical.  That's what allows the boys to exchange places.  


What I like about Twain's use of eyes in this story is that he doesn't use a character's eyes to tell readers about that character's physical form.  Twain uses eye descriptions to tell you about that character's thoughts and emotions.  For example, when a character is feeling excited or in awe, Twain tells readers that the person's eyes are "shining" or "twinkling."  There are other times when eyes are "craving" or have "burned with passion."  I think it's a really great usage of eye descriptions, because it lets the same character's eyes do so much more.  Additionally, by never telling readers what the eye color specifically is, Twain has allowed reader imagination to simply take care of that small detail.  I might think that Tom's blue eyes are twinkling, while a different reader might think that green eyes are twinkling.  Both would be received equally well by each reader because the reader is controlling the eye color.

Is there a word/phrase for "unperformant"?

As a software engineer, I need to sometimes describe a piece of code as something that lacks performance or was not written with performance in mind. Example: This kind of coding style leads to unmaintainable and unperformant code. Based on my Google searches, this isn't a real word. What is the correct way to describe this? EDIT My usage of "performance" here is in regard to speed and efficiency. For example, the better the performance of code the faster the application runs. My question and example target the negative definition, which is in reference to preventing inefficient coding practices. Answer This kind of coding style leads to unmaintainable and unperformant code. In my opinion, reads more easily as: This coding style leads to unmaintainable and poorly performing code. The key to well-written documentation and reports lies in ease of understanding. Adding poorly understood words such as performant decreases that ease. In addressing the use of such a poorly ...

Is 'efficate' a word in English?

I routinely hear the word "efficate" being used. For example, "The most powerful way to efficate a change in the system is to participate." I do not find entries for this word in common English dictionaries, but I do not have an unabridged dictionary. I have checked the OED (I'm not sure if it is considered unabridged), and it has no entry for "efficate". It does have an entry for "efficiate", which is used in the same way. Wordnik has an entry for "efficate" with over 1800 hits, thus providing some evidence for the frequency of use. I personally like the word and find the meaning very clear and obvious when others use it. If it's not currently an "officially documented" word, perhaps its continued use will result in it being better documented.
