You're a good example of why ND is known as a midwit school. The term is 'gist', a jest is a joke, you like as an intellectual.

Yes, you are correct, I used "jest" when I should've used "gist." Thanks for the vocabulary lesson.

Since you've brought up writing skills, I feel compelled to point out that, at the very least, you should not mangle sentences when attempting to disparage the intellect of others. Your comment "a jest is a joke, you like as an intellectual" does not meet that rather low bar.

Finally, if using one incorrect word in a 2,600 plus word article qualifies a person as a "midwit;" what does a person who mangles one of two a sentences he wrote qualify as?
