Just had a direct message from Michael Cudlitz on Twitter, correcting my spelling of a word. I don't care, it's still a DM from Cudlitz! :)
(Why the hell is there a "g" in "physiognomist", btw? Couldn't it be like in French?)

LOL! He has no business correcting anyone's spelling and grammar ;)

[elodiek]

Lol, that's right!
Here's the thing:
Message #1: "??? ....................... Wanna check that spelling? cause I don't know what the hell you mean ...............lol"
Message #2: "physio"G"nomist .................... Found it. Sorry, not judging I can't spell for crap."
I don't think it's such a stretch to know what it is, even without a "g" in it, but hey, like he said "not judging", lol.

Ohhh, I see. He didn't know what it was in the first place. Hell, I had to look it up. So it's like phrenology, then.

I don't know what phrenology is, but in French, being "physionomiste" means having the ability to recognize people. You see someone and you can recognize him/her the next time you see him/her. It's a very common expression in France, but apparently it's not in English.
*looks up phrenology*

Yeah, it's definitely not a phrase used like that in America, at least. With my previous understanding of "physiognomist" I was wondering what you were Twittering about, loll.
