I didn't learn this today, per se, but growing up I always thought "nonplussed" meant unfazed.

Yeah, I think I've used it plenty... The right verb is "converse" but even when I write it as "conversate", it doesn't highlight it as wrong, which is confusing. So, here I was thinking that both were correct... for years... At least I know now.
Well, it is a word; make your own conclusions as to whether you want to use it or not. https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/is-conversate-a-real-word
^lmao! I'm so drunk right now. That was incredible. With that, I bid goodnight. EDIT: So many of those comments are top-freaking-tier. Oh my God.
Contrition - A deep and sincere feeling of remorse that is customarily associated with the pious repentance of sins. (My words) I always thought contrite was synonymous to anger. I picked a great time to learn this word.
