You know damn well that classic meant "facetious."

You are going out of your way to be obtuse.

No I am not. The so-called joke simply bombed. I did not know the meaning of factitious, and before I looked it up I thought maybe it had something to do with political factions.

BTW: The spellchecker for MS Word does not change factitious to something else.

But in the Firefox web browser, the user is prompted to change "facitious" to "factitious."
