Many new updates on the pesky NMI Parity Check error have come my way recently - so go check them out on the Error Reports page.

And from a completely unrelated sector today - Wordsmith decided to feature a rather hilarious word the other day I thought worthy of forever embedding into the collective minds of my valued readership:

crapulent (KRAP-yuh-luhnt) adjective

Sick from excessive drinking or eating.

[From Late Latin crapulentus (very drunk), from Latin crapula (drunkenness), from Greek kraipal (hangover, drunkenness).]

"A doctor examining one of his more crapulent patients said to him, 'Your body is a temple and your congregation is too large.'" Dale Turner; Guarding Our Health Lets Us Better Serve in Role God Intended; The Seattle Times; Apr 26, 2003.

"1975: Ever in search of new dining experiences, Vancouverites get crapulent on goblets of beer and fat drumsticks at the Mediaeval Inn." Liz Hodgson; The Curve Theme Restaurants; Vancouver Sun (Canada); Feb 26, 2000.

This week's theme: words that aren't what they appear to be.

Don't ever accuse me of not being diversified regarding blog topics, folks...
