Oops...careless me. I could get away with it anywhere else, but I should know better than to slip up here.

I think my denial problem is related to that nasty little "in". It's like saying someone is "in delusion", instead of deluded. Not that it's really wrong, it just doesn't sound right to my ear. One wants something more positive. It is overused, and that probably has something to do with it.

I've seen some pretty serious assholity described as attitude, but I'd guess, on balance, that you're right there as well.
