That's just very typical Corsair behavior. 'Bah' is what he says when he either knows you're right but is being stubborn, or when he can't think of anything to say.

You'll see this happen a lot.


Okay, I'll watch out for that in the future.

On a side note.... this, um, this topic seems to strayed off the track somewhat short of being derailed completely from the course.

Indeed, I suppose it is something that can not always be helped. And thank you Swift.

Actually, when a thread has run its course it inadvertedly turns to spam.

This thread has run its course.

Also, I have no idea what "inadvertedly" means or how it's spelled but I used it anyway to feign intelligence.

Spam??? bleh   That's all I need is some canned ham.

As for the word you meant to put:

in·ad·ver·tent
adj.

   1. Not duly attentive.
   2. Marked by unintentional lack of care. See Synonyms at careless.


Found at Dictionary.com, which is where I check my words if I'm not sure of the correct spelling or using the definition appropiately.

I think I was trying to say "inexorably" or something.

Inexorably you say?  hmm, ok then.

in·ex·o·ra·ble  
adj.

    Not capable of being persuaded by entreaty; relentless: an inexorable opponent; a feeling of inexorable doom.


inexorably

adv : in an inexorable manner; "time marches on inexorably"


I have no idea which word you meant to type or the correct one for that matter.

He's having so much fun he just has to dive for the dictionary every chance he gets. Strange lad.

At least he knows what a dictionary is. If I had ten million dollars for everytime I saw idiots asking what words mean on the Internet... :'(

Did you know "exhorbant" isn't in the dictionary despite its widespread usage?

I encourage you all to begin using the word more often so that the guys that add words to dictionaries will see it as a new word.  That's how it works, after all; the more people use a word, the higher its chance is of being inducted into the lexicon.

Did you know "gullible" isn't in the dictionary?

Anyway, I really hate it when people use the word "Apocalypse" as "End of the World". It's such a common mistake that it's become almost correct.

Ah, yes, "gullible."  Man, that's so old hat.  I used it three times this morning.
