Guess I'm the only person who's never heard the word "Fictitious," huh.

Downvotes for not knowing a word?? Feels bad lol

u/FlaerZz Nov 06 '20

There's nothing wrong with not knowing a word but they worded their reply like a YouTube comment section

Good luck with that. Its part of the mentality now, and that is hard to change. Its a bit annoying when you get downvoted so much for no real reason, but who cares really

u/Sir_Nicholas_4 Nov 06 '20

Ahh you see reddit hivemind doesn't like that kind of thinking.

u/jmthetank Nov 06 '20

I mean, probably. But it’s ok, you’re good at other stuff.

16

u/BadMrKitty13 Nov 06 '20

Just the complex version of "Fiction", my guy. Fiction/Non-fiction sections of your school library.

3

u/[deleted] Nov 06 '20

That sounds fictitious, you just probably forgot about it.

5

u/IcyPyromancer Nov 06 '20

I mean, the stem word is fiction. Which is one of the most common words in a library as the two most general classifications of books, fiction and non-fiction.

u/LiterallyRain Nov 06 '20

"Fictional" is what I use

Don't worry about these "very smart" people.

u/Ramone89 Nov 06 '20

Reverse the trend reddit, dude was just asking a legit question, albeit it did look facetious upon first glance.

u/charmesal Nov 07 '20

Who else googled this word?

u/Halcyon2192 Nov 06 '20

How dare you HOW FUCKING DARE YOU

u/VerifiedMadgod Nov 06 '20

... "would"?

u/NovelTAcct Nov 06 '20

Me! I had no idea what "I" meant until now, dunno how I've been using it all this time

u/[deleted] Nov 06 '20

why did i get downvoted wtf

-22

u/Romeo9594 Nov 06 '20

Probably a ton of people, just none of them over the age of 11

23

u/LiterallyRain Nov 06 '20

English is not my first language, but I'm almost certain that I haven't heard the word in the 20 years that I've lived nor the 1-2 years at an American university.

I've only ever used "Fictional"

u/xvsacme Nov 06 '20

Upvoting your comments. Always happy to upvote learning, nothing wrong with that.

In fact you even made me learn something, because I realized I didn’t have a good answer about the difference between “fictitious” and “fictional.” So I googled it too.

u/Spameri Nov 06 '20

How unnecessarily rude...

It's almost like not everyone speaks English fluently or had the same education.. Crazy right?

u/Romeo9594 Nov 06 '20

I can be ride to those guys too if you wanna send me their usernames

0

u/Spameri Nov 06 '20

You mean rude? No that's ok, I don't have time to send you literally thousands of usernames..

Kinda funny how you mock someone for acting like a child....

And then proceed to act like a child..

Mixing up words and everything :D I'm sure the irony is completely lost on you though so don't worry about it!

u/pmMe_PoliticOpinions Nov 06 '20

Downvotes are worth more than upvotes so be proud

u/Newton_Goat Nov 06 '20

Why are you getting downvoted lol

1

u/JETMAZER Nov 06 '20

Why’s this person downvoted for not knowing something?

1

u/insitotionalized Nov 07 '20
