Nope. Haskell.

At least let ‘em google that shit.

We got the bottom Tcu, Colo, Baylor, BYU, Houston and ASU.

Our 4th game is @ UWV and they play Penn st in week one and the back yard brawl Pitt right before us.

We get ISU @ home with our bye the week before while they play Texas Tech that week @ home.

By far our toughest game is going to @ the team that wears PURPLE. Their starting QB hit the portal and now is projected to be starting QB for Ohio ST???? But the truth is the Freshman QB pretty much ran him out of town. Hard for me to say but he good. Plus they got the RB from Colo. We very well could be two undefeated teams going in to that game.

Good times!

This isn't the first time you've commented about that, and it seems to really stick in your craw, as if you take it personally. Do yourself and me a favor, and disabuse yourself of that idea.

I love words. I value precision. I seek to use the tools, the words, that express exactly what I mean. If it were possible to make a decent living as an etymologist, next to being a professional golfer or basketball player, that's what I might have chosen as a career.

I seriously doubt everyone here could accurately describe what a "malingerer" is. I could be wrong. When I use medical terms I assume people are unfamiliar with, I often define them. When I post definitions of non-medical words, it's because I had to look them up to be sure they convey what I mean to say. And then, since I'm there anyway, I take the time to copy and paste the definition in case I'm not the only one uncertain, and, in hopes it will stick...in my mind. Rather than being pretentious or condescending, it's an admission that I had to look it up, to be sure. The discouraging thing is, I find myself looking up the same words more than once, over the years.
