So the site is finally online. and look at all of the cool content. I have to say I’m proud that after not even four hours of being online, Asymptomatic already has several quality (in my humble opinion) articles available for its readers.
One thing diturbs me. My spell checker seems to think that I’ve spelled asymptomatic incorrectly. How could this be? It wants me to use “a symptomatic” or just “symptomatic”. What’s with that?
The American Heritage Dictionary defines asymptomatic as “Neither causing nor exhibiting symptoms of disease.” So I suppose that it is a word.
What really defines a word anyway? Wouldn’t simply using a word substantiate its origin? If I said that I floyed my eggs this morning, and then when when I floyed my car on my way to work, wouldn’t that validate the use of the new verb “to floy”? Simply floying it on this page should count for something.
I call all of you readers (the whole one or two of you) to make up a good word and use it at least three times today in conversation. Keep it in common parlance.
Ignore your spellchecker, I say! It’s time to rebel!
