Fun.

Do you know I've been looking for a way to rationally use "ineluctable" for nearly 30 years?

Damn. Lost another race.

I did it, though.

My son (who is a bit eccentric) loves to use the word "defenstrate". He finds ways to slip it into conversations all the time.

We've started calling him "Ian the Defenstrator"

Damn, I like that idea.

"I defenestrated my Wintel and turned it into a Lintel."

I like that a lot.

You espouse an ineluctable confluence of cognoscente conviviality, ineffectual at eschewing obfuscation, then?

You should defenestrate your dictionary, or get a better spell checker!
