Crap. I’ve been using that word wrong all my life. Thanks for the correction!
I pride myself on my vocabulary, and I really blew that one!
Perfectly good word, you just got it backwards. I’ve done the same myself, though not with that word.
You could use disapprobation or disapproval. I think condemnation or censure would be good too.
By the way, the updated speech satire is very good. Keep it up.
I heard on the radio that today’s speech anniversary event in D.C. had nothing to do with the content of the original speech.
I’m thinking there must be a similar sounding word that has the desired meaning. . .found this at dictionary.com :-)
Reprobation
1. disapproval, condemnation, or censure.
