I like the word, "optimistical". Someone pass it on to the President. I think he could make good use of it. He's continually inventing new words by redefining them. This truly is a word with great potential.

Also from the NJ Forum:

"Our criteria is..."

At this point, I don't think that there are more than 2 people in 100 who realize that "criteria" is plural.
