Far too few intellectuals in the world.

As far as intellectuals go, I refer you to these definitions:

*appealing to or engaging the intellect: intellectual pursuits.

and

*characterized by or suggesting a predominance of intellect: an intellectual way of speaking.
Anyway, I seek out intellectual conversationalists, seemingly always set to fail. I like debating, discussing and arguing.  It makes me happy if the person I'm talking to isn't a complete idiot.  I like learning, or sharing what I learned.  If I win a debate, discussion or argument, I feel good.  If I lose? I feel good.  I love it, I like learning.  I'm a high school dropout, can't stand school in fact, but I love losing. Grade 8 graduate, by the by.

Back to the point, I don't like repetition.  Call it the most common OCD trait, I just don't.  Every now and then, I'll use another word.  For this instance, I used irregardless. Redundant, yes. I used it anyway, because I like throwing in a different word, that no one uses, every now and then.  I get called out, and in that call out it was implied that I was an idiot.

Using words that others do not, makes me an idiot.  Never gave me a reason why I was either, just insinuates that I am an idiot.

Chances are I misused insinuate, much why I like being an intellectual. Doesn't make me a cunt to my own mistakes.
