people who can't spell should take a moment with a dictionary instead of using spellcheck tools
someone sent me an email the other day and used the word "contentious" instead of "conscientious."
so, in other words, instead of saying s/he would try to be more conscientious about something, s/he said s/he'd try to be more contentious.
considering that this is someone I think of as being pretty damn contentious, I found it hysterically, laugh-on-the-floor funny.
contentious
1 : likely to cause contention
2 : exhibiting an often perverse and wearisome tendency to quarrels and disputes
god, I love dictionaries.
perverse and wearisome. what a phrase.
