Idiosyncratic is a universal English word. I've seen it used several times. Yes, perhaps in more academic or formal settings, but I've heard and seen it used. Craic seems like a regional slang word and I've never seen it used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whicker Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Anyway, I would not have accepted "craic." It's not in Merriam-Webster's and in every source I've found it, it says it's always preceded by an article. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You correct them with the boring math thing or play along? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends on my mood but I usually just play along. I'm not big into interacting with people more than I have to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's fine and I would agree that Swag deserved a slap upside the head for submitting "idiosyncratic iconoclast." But IMO, craic is less of a word than either of those. I'm just going to leave it at that as it is not my game and it's already been ruled on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
