Age...Can you admit it?

I am talking about the meaning not the spelling.

The "n" changes the meaning. (^_^)y

The Urban Dictionary says that synchophant is a misspelling of the word "sycophant" used by ignorant ghetto people and neocon morons.

Meh... Whatever word eventually results in recursive, redundant, and repetitive crowds. I'll play dictionary games later. (^_^)

Here's the fun part... I didn't exactly look at the poll results, but, there IS a chance that we're in the same age group, have the same interests, and who knows? ... I may live a mile or two away from you. We somewhat speak the same language. But, by all means, I doubt we'd get along well if we were to hang out somewhere. (^_^)

At the same time... My much older friends have a much thicker skin and don't mis-construe my self-constructed examples as critiques on their character or statements. Sure... I got that combative streak and I somewhat understand your reaction... But, I was hardly intending on being critical of you simply by making examples of my own desires and experience. (^_^)y

I also take exception to you suggesting that there is anything sycophantic about people of the same age culture etc talking to each other.

Maybe you dont spend enough time looking in a dictionary before you write.

That isn't how I interpreted what she said. Knowing her a bit, I can assure you it isn't how she is.

sycophant – noun - a self-seeking, servile flatterer; fawning parasite

Used correctly in context. I don't care for gatherings of sycophants either.

Was there some other word she misused?

45!

Personally, IMHO people who don't spell perfectly ALL the time shouldn't bother calling out other people on their spelling mistakes. Plenty to go around by everyone now and then, including Mr. Ansar as I've discovered. This is a forum, not a writing class. As long as someone is writing complete sentences and has clear thoughts we all know what they are talking about and certainly Immy is one of the smartest cookies around here.

Oh and BTW, I see he's in the same age group according to the poll so I guess he's "geriatric" too, as he gleefully called me a week or so ago, without even knowing as much.

People in glass houses...well, you all know the rest of that quote.

You are showing your inability to understand my posts again Elora. I was criticising her use of the word because of its meaning not its spelling so if you think she is one of the smartest cookies here I feel sorry for your judgment. She was the one who decided she spelled it wrong and was wrong anyway. As for geriatric why dont you check again. I never called you that. Maybe you need better reading glasses.

Wah... Well... From the point you were originally trying to express you seem to like to gather around like-minded people to avoid confusion and disagreement. From your stream of responses so far, I can see why. (^_^)

Enjoy your friends as you have them. I'll do mine as well. (^_^)y

But not necessarily good ones.

This is why our memories fade with age - who really wants to remember that stuff?

Me is 41 and not even a grey hair in sight

Again you have got it wrong. Not like-minded and not to avoid disagreement. People that are sufficiently similar that it enhances communication and understanding even if we dont agree. Which is why I avoid people with what appears to be your attitude of finding misunderstanding amusing as you said earlier.

wy cant we git along? u giv me sads.


Iph u dont speel gud, I dont cair to much.
