Here's a historical reference where I used Forfeit in language:

    Thursday, February 28 2013 @ 01:59 PM EST: Interesting legal question with the solution
1) So even when I can easily admit to making an error - it's still your opinion you know my mind better then me.

2) Even though I showed just how many typos I can get in a post: I - apparently - still don't know my own mind and faults better then you know me.

3) Long before you posted this response, I responded to one of Wol's posts and made use of the word in question. Not deliberately to prove any particular point - but just because that's what flowed naturally in the discussion. And double checking it: it's amazingly spelled correctly.

To be clear: No, I don't use a spell checker! Or a grammar checker. I prefer to rely on my own proof reading. It's not perfect, after all I am human and as the saying goes:

    To err is human.
But then I don't end up with silly things like:
    Eye halve a spelling checker.
I just dropped that into MS Word from Office 2007. It highlighted "Eye halve" for grammar. Right clicking and it amusingly suggests either:
    Eye halves a spelling checker.
or
    Eyes halve a spelling checker.
Both of which register as "correct".

I see instead of just accepting someone's honest mistake for what they represent it is, you're going to stick to your own opinion anyway no matter what evidence is provided. It's nice to know that. Perhaps - and the word indicates that it's a maybe, not the "for sure" insistance you claim to know me by - just perhaps, you have the human failing where you find it difficult to admit when you've made a mistake.

I have a lot of human failings, but failing to admit when I err and how I err is not one of them.
