This has evolved in a very interesting way, and I've learned something. But I believe I for one, on the rare occasions I have to write either word, will continue to stick with the difference, in an attempt to circumvent contranymic confusion. For me: "Einstein personifies genius," means he is the human embodiment of that quality, and is not an intro to his quote: "Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration."
