‘Monopolate’ _must_ be a proper word… I’ve heard Don King use it… ---

Long time listener, first time caller. However, I HAD to jump in here with one of my longtime peeves: Ignert. As in, “He was very ignert to me today.” “Stop being so ignert to me.” I am guessing that this is strictly a midwest thing, since I had never heard it until I moved here. Please excuse myself while I monopolate your time with my internal dialog: 1. The word is pronouced “IG-NOR-ANT”, not “IGNERT” you ignert hicks! At least pronounce the word correctly, even if it is not the correct word, because: 2. The word that you are actually trying to use is not ignorant, it is RUDE! RUDE, not IGNORANT! He was RUDE to me! People cannot be ignorant TO you, ignorant is something that you ARE! Wow, I feel much better now. ---

One that bothers me is the use of BOTH to indicate the inclusion of three or more items. As in this car has both an automatic transmission, air conditioning and power steering. ---

Great thread, lots of fun! Let me make this an interactive educational exercise by asking the braintrust of the SDMB to re-write this sentence from my resume (draft): **Architected** high-level integration strategies between \ products and Financial Institutions’ core processing systems, third-party payments providers, etc. The problem word, or non-word, being ‘Architected’. I cannot come up with an alternative but the key concept I wish to convey is architect. C’mon, fight some Ignorance people! Thanks, MeanJoe At least I **know** it is incorrect! ---

Constructed seems the best guess for you, **MeanJoe** , though I am just glad the person didn’t say “implementalized” or something like that where you attach suffixes until the word sounds sufficiently important. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by MeanJoe \* > **Architected high-level integration strategies between \ products and Financial Institutions’ core processing systems, third-party payments providers, etc.** Is he trying to say “Given an architecture” or “designed” or “designed, like a building?” I could make a case for the first having the new word, but I’m not sure - do high level integration strategies have an architecture? ---

Oh, if you want it to be possessive, it’s just “its” but if you want a contraction then it’s I-T-apostrophe-S… Scalawag! [http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail89.html](http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail89.html) My friend is trying to get “deplenish” into the dictionary, for no reason. Another friend said “coincidential” the other day, and had no idea what her mistake was. I kind of like the sound of it though. I used to know someone who randomly added t’s to the ends of words. ---

Overuse combined with wrong usage should be considered justifiable homicide. Case in point, my brother-in-law. (who hasn’t kept a job more than 90 days since 1991) He heard “eviscerate” on tv. He watches a LOT of tv. He now uses that word in every utterance. Divorce court, “I’ll eviscerate Jeannie if she tries that.” Dry cleaners, “Can you sew up the hole in my pocket? I eviscerated it.” Dinner, “I’m going to eviscerate my steak.” (The visual that one conjures up makes me want to give up any kind of meat. ugh!) ---

Confusion of appraise and apprise - I appraised him of the facts - quite irritating. By the way what’s the problem with disorientated? ---

“Disorientated” has an extra syllable – should be “disoriented.” ---

I may be in a cross-pond misunderstanding here, but , in English, the word is ‘disorientated’. ---

I am aware that my punctuation went to pot then - put it down to loss of orientation in a stressful situation. ---

Well, disorientated is in [m-w.com](http://m-w.com) online NOW, but I believe that disoriented was the original form. At least that’s how it’s listed in the hard copy American Heritage dictionary I have here at home. Kind of like “preventative,” which is also widely used, but which wasn’t the original formation of the word “preventive.” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/no-no-you-stupid-tit-where-did-you-get-that-word-stop-using-it/215238.md?page=5) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/no-no-you-stupid-tit-where-did-you-get-that-word-stop-using-it/215238.md?page=7)
