I know I spelled it wrong. I noticed it later, but didn't bother to fix it. I didn't think he used it incorrectly. He used it properly, as in a gilded cage. I'm saying it was very awkwardly placed. And it's just not a commonly used word today. Say sugar coated. That's a modern term regular people would understand.
Well I give a pass for those who use words that few understand. I do that myself. I have posted the word "lagniappe" more than once on this site, along with "ersatz," "sociolistic" "eristic," and one about the scales falling off referring to Dems - a medical term. Words are my friend. I like them.
