Devil Use the Queen's English man.

Nice attempt to sneak one in there HD but I must protesteth.

I don't believe that
understandability
is a word, although I do understand what you mean. You can't use the dodgy online free dictionaries as a reference for the term either; they're full of made-up seppo words.

In answer to your question, it's 'puerile' (adjective: childishly silly and trivial) from the latin puer meaning boy.

Nice rant though I guess you're not a humanities student then?

(Helmet on, taking cover )

The great thing about human language is that it prevents us from sticking to the matter at hand.

Lewis Thomas (1913 - 1993)

Man invented language to satisfy his deep need to complain.
