Literate but Tired

Making minute grammatical errors though being completely literate when running on low doses of sleep.

Oh my gosh--did I just say 'specialer'? So not a word. And I know that....because I am fully literate but tired. At least I know 'a lot' is two words.

"The writer was obviously dictionary-literate."

Any Literates?

The questioned used when entering a room full of nubcakes with no sense of literacy. This can often be the cause of hopping rooms. Apparently, nubs search for other nubs, and literates search for literates. Its just the way it is...

*player 2 joins the chat* "Hey, any literates?"

*chat room goes about their prattling with their ungrammatical, catachrestic, word use*

*player 2* "I guess not..."
-player 2 leaves the chatroom-

*nub* "stop hopping why they hop?"

*nub 2* "cuz there noob"

eye-literate

How you might feel when you want to use a word in conversation that you're familiar with in reading and writing, you know perfectly well what it means, but you've never heard it spoken, and have no idea how to pronounce it.

"It doesn't matter how many times you click on Font Color. Changing red text to red again won't make a difference. It's eye-dem-... id-em-..." (thinking, "How the *$%^& do you pronounce 'idempotent'??? Guess that makes me eye-literate.")

loiterati

People who loiter in offices, cubicles, and public places and make knowing, often deprecating comments about their employers, co-workers, public figures, and other topics of general interest. Very often their opinions sound informed, but are not.

As I passed the break room, I overheard the loiterati discussing the company's new strategic plan, predicting failure and pink slips.

Legiterately

Meaning legitimately and literally put together, cause they basically mean the same thing.

"Like, I went to the store this morning and I saw a man wearing a bunny suit. He was legiterately wearing a suit with pink fuzzy bunny ears and a cute little bunny tail."

"I bet if I say it enough I could make that a new trendy slang word. "
