I think it is merely age and experience.

See, you have merely a large brain, I have a large old brain.

BTW-Have you noticed how JPaul likes to use the word sophistry alot?

He's made it nigh unto an art; practice makes perfect, I always say. :P

That's what I was going to post.. Do you people not use computers or something?? :frusty:

1). Open Microsoft Word
2). Type decadence
3). Highlight text, click tools --> language --> Thesaurus.

Word will give you the meaning, synonyms, and an antonym.

:cool2:

It is probably to do with the aging brain, easily pleased and so forth.

In your case, a more appropriate term would be "pickled" brain. Although pickling does make it more difficult to pilot the walker across the treacherous livingroom to the restroom, it does tend to lower our "entertainment" threshold.

I have to conceed, it does strike a chord. IRL I get accused of not having the full complement of common sense so maybe all shall be mine in the fullness of time.

Btw, J'Pol, I notice you frequently use the word specious. I imagine this is also for a reason akin to the one you cited above.

:D

Bloody gypos.

Sometimes it's necessary to consider the overall effect of the post, I often neglect to edit because of the unsightly watermark it leaves. Other times I just spell words incorrectly without noticing.

I shall be on the look out for other words that are particular to members. Cheese used panegyrical the other day and then explained what it meant in the same post, the impudent bar steward.

Just so-

Anyone that concerned with a watermark gets my vote. :D

And precisely where have you been?

Had you seen fit to check in earlier, this dilemma might not have required quite so many posts to demonstrate it's insolubility.

Please work on your timing; next time we shant wait for you. ;)

Hope things are swell with you and yours, BTW. :D

This insolubility notwithstanding my solution, of course ;)
