"You're so mellifluent," as in having a mellifluent voice, as in a pun on "fluent," as in sarcasm.
I'm sure you knew that all along, though, right?

(CBS) Ten U.S. soldiers were injured, six or seven of them seriously, in a grenade and small arms attack at Camp Pennsylvania in northern Kuwait, reports CBS News Correspondent Mark Strassmann, who is traveling with the U.S. Army's 101st Airborne Division.
Strassmann said the grenades were rolled into two commanders' tents at the camp. When officers ran from the tents, they were hit by small arms fire.
"From our reports it appears that a terrorist penetrated Camp Pennsylvania, one or more terrorists threw two hand grenades into a tent," said George Heath, spokesman at Fort Campbell, home base of the 101st.
Strassman said three suspects were being held for questioning, two Kuwaitis who served a translators and an American soldier described as a black Muslim.
The injured soldiers were rushed to a field hospital but military officials had no word on their conditions, Lt. Cmdr. Charles Owens said from Camp As Sayliyah in Qatar.
The military did not identify the unit of the 101st that was in the camp but said it had been in Kuwait for about one week. Most of the division has entered southern Iraq.
Separately, Strassmann reported, an Iraqi rocket fired at U.S. forces in Kuwait was destroyed by Patriot missiles launched from nearby Camp New Jersey.
The terror and missile attack came as the U.S. assault on Iraq gained steam. American and British forces besieged the southern city of Basra and pounded Baghdad with impunity. But tough fighting loomed for coalition troops as they pressed deeper into Iraq.
" Typography " : The art or process of printing with type. The work of setting and arranging types and of printing from them. The general character or appearance of printed matter.
You're NOT clever, you don't know the English language nearly as well as you imagine you do and the abject and continued misuse of it, doesn't make you look intelligent nor learned. Your sniping is childish ( almost first grade level, at best ) and , again, doesn't help your image.
But, do keep this up and then everyone, who has the misfortune to read your posts, will know, for a fact, that what I say is fact; as opposed to what they see you write.

As you can see by the definition you've provided, my usage is again correct.

You must be much younger than I am, as there was once a time when I imagined that writing or uttering assertions made them necessarily true.
You're projecting.
A pun is just a pun. It isn't serious; it isn't often high art; it's just a word trick. Still, as silly as it was, you missed it, and can't seem to accept that. I'm at a loss as to how I might help you further with this.
You didn't even have a glimmer of an idea, what mellifluent meant; but, you used it and when called on it, you couldn't come up with anything other than name calling and lies.
You also called me " lazy ", for no apparent reason, called me " pooky ", made smarmy and deliberately obfuscating excuses/refutation, when caught in outright lies. All that, and you repeatedly accuse me of being off topic, when you are the one continually going off topic. You're just too full of yourself, to see how supremely silly ( not to mention boring ) a figure you are.
You want to play these games ? Then take it like an adult, when you've been chastened and rebuted; instead of being a weasel. ; ^ )
Puns make sense and are usually funny.
You're now acting like a three year old, whose mother caught him with his hand in the cookie jar, or chocolate all over his hands, or ... well, I do hope that you get my druft. LOL
In any case, you've bored me to sleep and still haven't made your case. Enough , toothy; just slink away.
You also called me " lazy ", for no apparent reason, called me " pooky ",Earlier, you made reference to one of your "infamous typos." Typo, of course, is slang for "typographical error," and "typographical" pertains to "typography."
By your contorted parsing, you can't have a typo on the interent... and yet you clearly have and claim many.
To hold that "typography" only applies to the printing press is to hold that language is static, and that words never acquire new usages or connotations. "Linguisticwise," that's not how it works.
You want to play these games ? Then take it like an adult, when you've been chastened and rebuted; instead of being a weasel. ; ^ )I called you lazy because at #1218 you suggested that I do the research to support your mistaken contention. I called you pookie becasuse you called me "dear."
Only occasionaly, as your distorted sense of your gravitational pull in the Solar System grows tedious when encountered on a regular basis.
Good question.
An American Black Muslim traitor, acting on his religeous beliefs, tried to take out the top command around him.
The problem is that they do not willingly coexist. There is no religious freedom in practice, or sharply resticted freedom of worship, in prodominantly Moslem countries.
The number of fanatics in Islam, whether they are 1% or 10%, are thousands (or tens of thousands) times greater in proportion than fanatical fascistic "Christian" groups. And, unlike the Christian world, these fanatics are respected and supported by what is probably a majority of Moslems. That fat ululating hag celebrating 9/11 is the TRUE FACE of Palestinian opinion on us.
One of the tasks in front of us is to create the kind of religious freedom you think exists in the Moslem world. We must enable Moslems to throw off their religion if they find it opresses them.
It may not be an easy or pleasant fact, but I think people are naieve to think otherwise.
Meanwhile, the PC censors at CBS have put the original text into the memory hole, taking out any references to "Black Muslim". The current text at the linked article now reads:
At Camp Pennsylvania in northern Kuwait, an American soldier was accused of a rolling three grenades into a command tent, killing one of his comrades and wounding thirteen others. The motive "most likely was resentment," said Max Blumenfeld, an Army spokesman.
Keep the message alive.
It is a philosophy bent upon world domination. Not only does Islam not allow for peaceful co-existence with other philosophies, Islam is intent on destroying all infidels - non believers in Islam.
For those who like to think otherwise, wake up and smell the Napalm and Cordite.
