"For instance, in the big city, I've observed that people who lock their doors are subject to fewer unwanted intrusions." Of course. Why you see that as contradictory to the post I provided, is beyond me. I was not aware that compulsive was an unusual word. Speaking of the use of unfamiliar words, I have no clue what a neologism is. "What's wrong with the more familiar and rather direct "obsesses"?M2" I have no problem with the word obsessive. The two are typically used interchangeably. They are often thought of as synoyms. I tend to use compulsive to describe conduct and obsessive to describe a mental preoccupation. But that may simply be a personal preference. Are you ever accused of nitpicking?
