I retain the right to call someone stupid if they believe in such nonesense as
"The Elder Scrolls of Zion", or that the Earth is flat. Have we gone down the path of Political Correctness so much that it is unnacceptable to describe someone as stupid when, in fact, they are?

However, in the spirit of open debate, and in surprised reaction to your response, how about I say "silly" instead of "stupid"? Or maybe you would prefer logically challenged or some other nonesensical term such as cognitively dissonant?

True. You're absolutely correct. I pride myself on my command of English and I let myself down here. Please accept my apologies.

Also, in the spirit of spelling nazis everywhere (and to let out some of my amused observation), it should have been "in the spirit of grammAr nazis..."

Hello pot! Hello kettle!

We all make mistakes. Mine was spelling based upon the vernacular of spoken English, as found in Ireland. Yours was spelling based upon bad spelling.
