spellcheck is no substitute for a good vocabulary

[synecdochic]

When discussing the grizzly autopsy photos, you should ascertain that the murder victim is ursine in nature. Or perhaps with hair that is streaked with gray. If that's not the case, perhaps you should discuss the grisly autopsy photos.

Honestly, I was kind of waiting for someone to mock me for my use of "ursine" instead of "bear," but I was that kind of kid that read the dictionary for fun, so, y'know. If you've got the vocabulary, it's no fun unless you use it.

As someone who has never heard at least a tenth of her regular writing vocabulary pronounced aloud, I am totally on your side. :)

Oh, no, it's so much funnier with ursine!

The ursine is what makes this quotable, IMO. Good show.
