    If I don't know a word, how would it be possible to be trying to use it? Not exactly sure how that would come across via written word anyways. I may not have picked the right word, but I'm fairly positive I knew about the word if I picked it and typed it out.

    Now you could try to make fun of me for not knowing the word 'drivel' but that's lazy.

    I'd say it's more likely due to "phonologically based lexical selection error" (I learned that today).

    I learned this today too. And lol, spot on with me picturing you as the dribbling idiot spewing his drivel, and it [uck fay]ing up my writing flow because of the lexical similarities between "dribble" and "drivel".

    Or you could just call it an accidental, humorous malapropism. This one I already knew. But it's amazing what you can learn today when you aren't a lazy moron.

    Not disputing that you’re a [uck fay]ing moron, noted.

    You know, I don't think so. The closest I've been to genius is NYY's asshole.

    I’m not reading all of this. You made a mistake. It’s not this big of a deal.

    Just too perfect. Thank you, Indy. Points get across much more efficiently when others help you prove them.
