Re: [Avid-L2] A few sane voices on the 4K push

And the word police would come after you with a missile launcher for "verbage" :-)

Dictionary.com surprised me by defining "verbage" as
"A deliberate misspelling and mispronunciation of verbiage that assimilates it to the word 'garbage'…More pejorative than 'verbiage'"
So I looked up "verbiage"and found "overabundance or superfluity of words, as in writing or speech; wordiness; verbosity"
I thought "verbiage" simply referred to the use of words, but I see I was wrong.
So "verbage" is twice as bad as "fastly." Because it's a misspelling of a misuse of a word.
