Here is your excuse to brag about the times you've bitch-slapped those who were not only wrong, but ARGUED with you about it!
The other day my roommate, who is obviously LEAGUES behind me, claimed that "gotten" is not a word. I warned him not to get into an English debate with me, but he persisted.
I let him live.
It leaves a nice mark on someone's nose when you show them the word in your dictionary, up close, then SHUT IT.
Oh wait, was that just a fantasy?
