It should read "apologist." Yes, it has bothered me, too.

Is it thread-worthy? I can't see how it is.

Not to be cruel.....but you're not the person who should be correcting other's grammar.

Yes I agree with you. I was just seeing who is awake.

The typo was extremely obvious.

I didn't see anything about apologetics but it was truthiness. It isn't a word.

It should read apologist you are correct little lego man.

But apologetic is Ok because apologists can be apologetic can't they. Or do they? hmmm.....

Ohh well...

Why would one be apologetic about their beliefs. If they are so sure then why apologise?

He used truthiness on purpose. He even made it a link so there would be an explanation for those who might be confused by it. Did you click on the link?

Truthiness
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Stephen Colbert announces that "The Wørd" of the night is truthiness, during the premiere episode of The Colbert Report.
Stephen Colbert announces that "The Wørd" of the night is truthiness, during the premiere episode of The Colbert Report.

Truthiness is a satirical term that U.S. television comedian Stephen Colbert created in 2005 to describe things that a person claims to know intuitively or "from the gut" without regard to evidence, logic, intellectual examination, or facts.[1] Colbert popularized this definition of the word during the inaugural (pilot) episode (October 17, 2005) of his satirical television program The Colbert Report, as the subject of a segment called "The Wørd". It was named Word of the Year for 2005 by the American Dialect Society and for 2006 by Merriam-Webster.[2][3]

By using the term as part of his routine, Colbert sought to satirize the use of appeal to emotion and the "gut feeling" as a rhetorical device in contemporary socio-political discourse.[4] He particularly applied it to U.S. President George W. Bush's nomination of Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court and the decision to invade Iraq in 2003.[5] Colbert later ascribed truthiness to other institutions and organizations, such as Wikipedia.[6]

I did get it you know. I was saying I wanted some of that intuitiveness that tells me what is true.
