MALAPROPISM
My Ethos
- Word Gnome
- I live under a mushroom in the woods. It sucks. My life's passion has been words and making people sound less ignorant and stupid. I believe that the kind of citizen we need in a democracy is one who knows the difference between "incompetent" and "incontinent." Ideally, the citizenry would also know the difference between a Bruichladdich 18 and a Macallan 12, or a Davidoff Special R and a Padron 1964 Anniversary Series Maduro, but beggars can't be choosers when it comes to The Great Unwashed. What's that? You'd like to learn about such splendid things? Well, then read this blog every day, you knuckle-dragging boor, and I'll learn ya' good!
