Just because a word isn't used in everyday speech doesn't mean it isn't a word.
Now please, keep trying to backtrack on me. It makes me laugh. |
You keep missing the best part of your quote, the last line. The dictionary that you are so vehemently defending is telling you not to use the damn word. That means that the makers of the dictionary who define proper english prose are telling you not to use it, it isn't good enough. Stop getting so angry that I called you out.
