Something We Can All Agree On: Scientific Proof

Nope. A misuse of something is to use it in an unintended manner, usually for a personally understood adverse effect. Such as misusing my socks as a substitute for bubble wrap.

An abuse of something is to make excessive use of a thing to the point where it has become damaging to or difficult to maintain the supply of. Abusing a woman tied up in your basement would not be misusing her unless you thought it was.

It's your turn to fall. Tongue

America can fall all it wants to... I don't classify myself as American for reason of having been born on American-claimed territory or having lived in such.

Skillessness in all matters, actually. Such as law, parenting, sex, marketing... there is no end to it Heart

I prefer having paper and a pen on hand when it comes to Greek.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
