I didn't have to use intuition to know the definition. And I usually take into account the origins of words when I am using a current definition. That's just me......I didn't have to look it up. I used no psychic ability when I used the word as I knew it. I am so sorry if it bothers you when I actually know the defintion of a word I am using.

You are just as capable as anyone else to look up a word. It isn't a psychic ability. It's prior knowledge, that can even be cross-checked by google.

Whatever. You thought someone throwing a definition at me, as a check, was sufficient. I knew differently.

Get over it.

I have a knee jerk reaction when someone throws definitions at me I already know, to be cocky, when the word itself is broader than their cut and paste jobby.

It was partly a joke about soldiers being militant. Because it was supposed to be redundant. I can not intuit what others know and what they don't.

Kind of like you.
