Which is to say, since target practice *does* help to prepare you for such a situation of having to use a gun to defend your life, he was not right.

Amazing, isn't it? And I even manage to use the words correctly.

I very much doubt that is the solution.

The question was: should we refer to you by the proper taxonomy: "73DipShít," which is not, after all, an insult?

Are all persons incapable of using words incorrectly? If so, how could we ever have thought of the concepts of 'corect' and 'incorrect' word usage? You did, after all, assert that I am an idiot. And yet, now you seem to be saying that one naturally expects me to use words correctly. Is there not some mismatch here?

One can be well versed yet still an idiot. ;)

One can be "educated" (i.e. credentialed) and yet be an idiot, certainly. The universities specialize in churning out those. But does not to be "well versed" imply that one is not merely (or even, for that matter) credentialed, but actually educated? Is it even possible to actually educate idiots?

As you stated, universities churn them out.
