    I'm refreshing my vocabulary lately, trying to expand it a little.

    Today's word was "metasticize".

    I have always loved "incorporeal heriditiments", but I only get to use it in a sentence every couple months or so......
    ...full immersion.....

    I do not think there is such a word.

    There IS a metastisize, however. Is that what you meant?

    You felt the need to go all condescending and retarded for a single wrong letter?

    Man, get a hobby.

    and you feel the need to get all righteously indignant with me? maybe YOU should get a hobby, or fresh batteries.

    if one is attempting to expand their vocabulary, it would make sense to at least start by spelling it correctly, would it not?

    The battery comment was uncalled for, but I wouldn't expect anything less from you.

    Here's a word for you to learn the meaning of... PATRIOTISM.
    POLITICAL ACTIVISTS CREED
    "It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brushfires in people's minds" -Samuel Adams

    "People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men
    stand ready to do violence on their behalf."~George Orwell

    Wow. You've used "righteously indignant" or "righteous indignation" at least 3 times today..

    I'm guessing someone else learned a new word/phrase today. Congratulations.
