No way are you going to get away with not admitting you were wrong about interject, Christopher. Say, "I admit!" C'mon. Say it. Say it. I wanna hear it, Christopher. Reminder: (Re conjecture: verb-intransitive, origin jacere, meaning to make a conjecture... So evidently, Christopher, it is an erroneous conclusion on your part that "Throw MUST be transitive.") and <<or if he really wanted to startle, could have resurrected the archaic but startling irrupt.>> If you have no objection to archaic words, I'm afraid you must now retract your objection to 'interject' used as an intransitive verb, Christopher. From the OED: Interject v 2. intransitive* b. to come between; to intervene, interpose . Obs. rare. heh heh I have to go out now, but I shall return.... Say it.
