I submit that literary superiority is but a vestige of a greater
penumbra of the intellect, notwithstanding that collateral usage
portends no small apostacy within the bounds of versimilitude.

Yeah?  So's your mother.

"litereary" meaning "knows big words", or "literary" meaning
"well-read"?  I assume from your latter clause that you mean the latter,
but just thought I'd inquire.

Breadth of literary knowledge may indeed indicate higher intellect,
but only within those spheres of society which value literacy and
literariness (is that a word?).  But I don't think that all people
with high intellects are necessarily well read (that is to say,
literary superiority is a sufficient, but not a necessary,
condition for intellectual superiority).

(Admit it, you read the "Yeah?  So's your mother" line and thought
I didn't understand a word you said.)

Is is an easy matter to confute myriad divergent tendencies upon
the litmus of unramified correlation.  This is not to say that
a patina of maternal confluence is vulnerable to pre-emptive
dismissal, of course.

I am in complete concurrence, and am gratious for the lack of
presumptive trivialization of content based on initial lexical
choice.

I am cunfused.

Hi Confused, how do you do?
