Making fun of someone for using a word or phrase that better fits what he is trying to say (using a round block for a round hole instead of forcing a square block into a round hole) is pretty low.
I'm sorry for utilizing my knowledge base in an effort to best explain my views. The fact you not only attacked me on that basis, but that it was the first thing you said, says a lot about you.
I always find it amusing when people make fun of somebody for saying something intelligent, or for using a "big word" properly (and in good taste) or knowing too much. It's what might be called an ad hominem scientia, a truly bizarre attack which only serves to make the attacker look small, petty and unintelligent.
