C'mon Rob! That's not fair! Bruce only got to go to one of those big Ivy League academic powerhouses for his undergraduate degree. In only 4 years, you can't expect that they could "learn" him the proper usages of all those big words, could you?

Words like Derby/Darby, and sorted/sordid, are hard to "get" in just 4 years. And if he didn't have time to learn the meanings of words like "penultimate" and "extant", is that so important? I mean he uses them anyway, and it's not like any of the rest of us know the proper meaning, so incorrect usage is better than no usage at all, right?


Cut the guy a break. I mean, it's not like he went to some community college!
