Anthony said: A challenge of wit can be amusing. In the best of times, it can be hillarious.
I reply: Anthony, that isn't how hilarious is spelled. I don't care if people mis-spell words. No doubt I sometimes do also. But in statements like the above, what makes the mis-spelling so hilarious is the self-referential character that it gives to the sentence that it's in. I wouldn't have mentioned what follows, but, when sending the above, I decided that I might as well include this too: Anthony posted a message with the following subject line: Subject: [EM] Reductio ad nauseum Anthony, that's actually nauseam. I've heard of people suffering from nausea, but not people suffering from nauseum or nauseus. :-) As Anthony said, these discussions can be hilarious. Anthony, especially when sending the kind of postings that you do, a dictionary might not be such a bad idea.
