Not that I want to be pedantic, but since we're being pedantic... psy·chic 1. of or pertaining to the human soul or mind; mental psy·cho·log·i·cal 2. pertaining to the mind or to mental phenomena as the subject matter of psychology. via our friend dictionary.com If sarcasm went by my head (and I think it may have, since you said irregardless), please ignore this post.
