Spy, thanks for the defense, but actually, to be honest, I always thought it was "combatative". This didn't look right, so I changed the spelling to "combatitive". Now I find this is also wrong! Ever since I was a little boy I thought there was a word called "combatative". It is possibly a Canadianism or Britishism, or whatnot. Holy Moley! When I think of all the times I used it in conversation, and even school papers! My only defense is this: that a word, correct or not, is still a word. I do believe most of us knew what I meant, which is ultimately the point. Hey everybody, I just had a neat idea; on the off-chance that this might be more interesting than the North-South-Going-Zax-Stand-Offs we keep getting mired in, how about I elaborate more on various other disillusionments from my childhood? More stories similar to today's somewhat ironic lexical error? I actually do learn something new everyday, which oft includes the abandonment of outmoded ideas, habits, even word usages and spellings, and, being on occasion of a self-aggrandizing temperament, I just love to share... ...no? I thought not...Sigh (NO one ever LIStens to ME!)
