I read the article. Sorry, I’ll work on that character flaw this year. I never thought I’d read this in a scientific article:

“The easy explanation for this mystery was also a ginormous erosional event, but until now, evidence for one was hard to come by.”

Is “ginormous” a real word now? Ugh.

Yeah, they could have said a “a bigly erosional event” right?

Be grateful the author did not use an F-bomb for emphasis.

Kids writing for kids.

It starts in the third sentence: "the thief was Snowball Earth, a hypnotized time..."

An entire geological era was "hypnotized"? Give me a break. Immaturity abounds everywhere.

Was mainstreamed in the movie Elf. There really is no final authority when it comes to determining which words become part of a particular language.
