    Its awkward, ie It'd be nice if we could conversate without ad hominems on this forum.

    Of course most people just say "have a conversation"

    The word I hate most that is a word is 'argumentation'

    $#@!ING HATE THAT WORD.

    I can't help but hear Deliverance when people say conversate...that or Cool Hand Luke.

    Argumentation is a real word. I suspect people use it incorrectly a lot.

    If we "was" conversating... People who use the word conversate don't use the subjunctive.
    In quoting my post, you affirm and agree that you have not been goaded, provoked, emotionally manipulated or otherwise coerced into responding.



    "The difference between what we do and what we are capable of doing would suffice to solve most of the world’s problems.”
