By coincidence I could have used today's word yesterday in the dentist's waiting room when the receptionist apologized for inadvertently calling me out prematurely. "No ai problema," I replied before I realized she was Hispanic, then in embarrassment followed up with "Oops, I'm afraid that sounded presumptive"
The last I consider a Type-2 though you are free to disagree. But tsu, zm, today's word is surely a Type-3 in spite of 20 OneLook hits
Yes I'm afraid that I am indeed epanorthotic, a quality that often gets me into trouble

"No ai problema,"
Not to be pedantic, but it ought to no hay problema, in Spanish anyway.
Epanorthosis [TsC 20, JhIc 19/20] and presumptive [TsC 21, JhIc 20/21] are of nearly the same types. ("That's a joke ... I say 'that's a joke!', son.")
Ceci n'est pas un seing.

not to be pedantic, but might you have meant presumptuous?
presumptive means 'based on a presumption, based on grounds of probability' while presumptuous means 'going beyond what is right or proper; excessively forward.'

No excuse for my laziness
"not to be pedantic, but might you have meant presumptuous?"
Of course I did. In my own defense this might serve as evidence (1) also of my laziness and (2) that both qualify as Type-2 not -1
