However, many people get confused of what it is and make up fancy names like tmesis.
It might be a good idea to look it up before making this type of sweeping/ill-thought-out/insulting statement jlt.
I've learned that, no matter how much I know, there is always going to be somebody that knows a little (or a lot more) than I do. There are very smart people here and I take my hat off to them for knowing all this stuff.
A one minute google would have shown you that the word does exist and would have prevented you from (I like to think inadvertently) trying to belittle somebody, and from (definitely) belittling yourself in this manner.

Ooof, it's several hours later and I'm catching up on these threads. I meant this to be a "check the depth before you jump in" statement jlt but it seems rather harsh when I reread it now. I hope I did not hurt your feelings, and if I did I apologize.
