In another thread here, spielberg refers to this silly word, and diane gets a real chuckle out of it.  In fact, they both stick "pocci" instead of "nauci" in the middle of the word, but spielberg includes a link to a definition with the correct spelling as part of the link!  I'm wondering who is sillier, the one who makes the original mistake with the solution in his own post, or the one who uses it for insults and argues about it.

This is clearly a situation where the STFU command is mandatory.

I'm always amused by the self-referential statements of NIHI.

Except it was me who posted the link.
