Before somebody pops a gut, it should be "comprehension", not "comprehensive".

Hiroad,   You shouldn't have to shield BS.   He's an adult.

He used a word which doesn't exist, obtusiveness.   He was asked to tell us if he really meant obtuseness or obtrusiveness and can't respond.  Maybe he has a third alternative.

Don't rag at me about comprehensive problems.   BS is the one who apparently can't comprehend he used a made-up word or can't comprehend that what he wrote is wrong or can't comprehend the meaning of the two alternate words and decide which one he meant to use.  

It's a simple matter for him to tell us what he meant.   Of course he would have to admit a mistake and that is a tough job for BS, although he makes enough of them he should be getting use to it.

Gawd, wouldn't you love to be married to this *itch? Every time you used a word she didn't agree with she would hound you for weeks on end to explain. Just give a litle thanks to the Man Upstairs for keeping you from running into this trian wreck when you were drunk and/or didn't know the score.

As hiroad said, he wouldn't want to hang around with this person. If mallory were a part of my life I would block the emails emanting from her and use the phone blocking to keep her calls from coming in, avoid family reunions, whatever it took to avoid this very disaagreeable person.

In short, what difference does it make if he misspelled or used the wrong word. Who died and made you linguist?
