"Concertive" means people who go to concerts a lot. Example, "There goes
Robert to the Who show. He's seen them twenty times already. He is very
concertive."

I noticed my improper verb usage after sending the post. In fact, I noticed
many an error, and winced in pain. I am grateful that you didn't notice (or
at least mention) the others. I expressed tremendous grief over my terribly
hypocritical post to my mother on the phone last night. "Now I've really
done it," I said. She said, "Don't worry. No one will notice." Bah! Never
mind incomplete sentences or words; some of them I just missed all together!
That's what happens when I change my thought mid-sentence, which I do all
the time. Or, sometimes, when I get really excited, I'll just stop right in
the mid

So much for my "are complete WORDS to much to ask for?" speech.

Katie, not as concertive as I used to be.
