Then I looked for excuses and rationalizations and found that Google has 92,000 ghits for "litigous" (carefully overlooking the fact that it also has 687,000 ghits for -ious) which gives it some dubious validity. But really I have to admit that I posted it anyway so as to have the opportunity to use the comeback to your question: "You're right. I'm wrong. So sue me!"

[/trying-to-sneak-unnoticed-out-the-door emoticon] Well, first off, the reason it has hits is because people can't spell! I got 1,610,000 for "commitee", and it has no dubious validity; it's just a misspelling! As to your "comeback": ha ha ha At least you're better at being clever than you are at spelling! ;0) Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Page 110 of 120 1 2 … 108 109 110 111 112 … 119 120 Go to page...
