Aimed for cleverness, failed. Apologies. Retracting.

It's the right word.

Bludgeoning people with poorly-constructed polls isn't kosher, particularly when you're wrong in the first place.

I (arguably incorrectly) brought attention to the usage of "spinster". The snark I intended came off as chiding. Plus, my post cited the recent philosophy poll in a way that was pedantic at best.

If there was anything of redeeming value, I would have left it up rather than blanking the post pre-retraction...
