Learn to spell, dumbasses
Wednesday, December 14th, 2005Attention fellow internet users! The following words are not to be misused or confused:
inciteful/insightful: First off, “inciteful” isn’t a word. Secondly, to “incite” is defined by Oxford as to “encourage or stir up (violent or unlawful behavior)”. So if you call a book, or someone’s thoughts, “inciteful”, you are essentially saying that their thoughts encourage or stir up violent or unlawful behavior. If someone’s trying to start a riot, they are perhaps being “inciteful”. However, if you think they’re providing useful insight, then they are being insightful.
wreckless/reckless: Wreckless driving is preferable. You mean “reckless”.
ironic: To make a long story short, it doesn’t mean “unusual” or “out of place” or “incongruent”.
