Is it bombasticity or bombastity?? I don't even know if my spelling is close!
Is it correct to say "his bombasticity blew me away?" (This is how we pass the time at these all day meetings :theoconbrio said:I would tell my copy-editing students that if they end up in a situation where they have to choose "bombasticity," then probably recasting is in order.![]()
In that context, you could probably say either "bombasticity" or "bombasticness"--neither is exactly wrong, although neither will get you style points.einsteins legacy said:Is it correct to say "his bombasticity blew me away?"
