[QUOTE="forensicbuzz, post: 726000, member: 198"] I wasn't the one trying to determine what someone else meant with their word choice. I'm confident I understand the meaning of the word "obtuse," and am quite sure I used it the way I intended. I'm also of the opinion that there are no true synonyms. Each word has a specific and nuanced meaning, and there is an absolute correct word for each instance. However, I don't condescend to correct someone else's use of words, so I rarely get into this pissing contest. I've always had a fascination with words and their meanings. I guess I'd say that lexicology has been a long time avocation of mine. [/QUOTE]
