Apropos of I think the legal eagle has used the word apropos appropriately and in a pertinent manner.

I don't. Besides, he spelled it wrong in one place!

I understand what he was saying.

Ayuh, we all do. Just as we do when a TV news reader says, "Between you and I." Hardly a serious problem, at least compared to the reception awaiting this interesting appeal.

Merriam Webster: apropos Main Entry: ap·ro·pos Pronunciation: \ˌa-prə-ˈpō, ˈa-prə-ˌ\ Function: adverb Etymology: French à propos, literally, to the purpose Date: 1668 So, I would beg to differ with Kenny Bunk and agree with rolling_stone as to its proper use in the sentence. It was 'less to the purpose' [in its Opposition] for Perkins Coie to compare facts of Hollister's case to another, irrelevant case, the legal eagle claims. Its spelling is correct.
