Here's a lingual reasoning test.
Which of the following two sentences is a better example of vituperativeness?Quote:
1. The difference between the adjectival form of a word and an adjective for a word was clear enough for the rest of the posters. I guess I won't pay any attention to one quibbler's facetiae.Quote:
2. and the rest of the posters are thus supposed to conclude we're dealing with yet another tedious vituperative little sock-puppet [yawn]
Oh, by the way maverick, don't bother to answer this question. You've already failed. But here's your homework:
facetiae: (archaic) humorous or witty sayings.
quibble: (archaic) play on words.
