I'm not people; I'm me. And, actually, I do know about it. Your use as an adjective was wrong as was explained in that link. I have no interest in your "points". I don't care how you thought you were using it. I don't care that you think you were right. I really don't care about the whole thing at all. I simply told you where you were going wrong, so feel free to ignore it if you wish to remain wrong, but you were still wrong. Go learn something.

> And, actually, I do know about it. Your use as an adjective was wrong as was explained in that link. That link does not address the word's use as an adjective at all except to note that it can be used as an adjective. > I have no interest in your "points". I don't care how you thought you were using it. I don't care that you think you were right. I really don't care about the whole thing at all. I simply told you where you were going wrong, so feel free to ignore it if you wish to remain wrong, but you were still wrong. Go learn something. I quoted OED to support my usage. You linked to a Stack Exchange question asking whether the correct prepositional form of apropos is "apropos" or "apropos of" — when I wasn't even using the prepositional form. If you were in my shoes, would you listen to you?

  If I were in your shoes, I'd have checked the usage before using the word. I've no idea why you need my approval. Your usage was wrong. If you don't like that, go find another opinion.

    > I've no idea why you need my approval. I never sought your approval. You just came out of the blue and told me I was wrong. > Your usage was wrong. You are wrong. I don't know why this is so hard for you to accept. Unlike you, I have presented actual academically acceptable evidence for my claim — you might take that as a clue for who's right in this situation. > If you don't like that, go find another opinion. I did get another opinion — I looked the word up in the Oxford English Dictionary and it confirmed that I used the word correctly.

      No, it didn't. It said you used it incorrectly. You just failed to understand the usage. Try searching for it.
