I'm curious. Why did you use the (non)word "disremember"? Wouldn't it
have been easier to type "forget"? I believe this is an example of
Richard Nixon's contributions to the english language, i.e. disremember=
forget, "misspoke myself"=lied, etc. I'm not flaming you, I'm just
puzzled as to why these examples of "nixonese" are entering common
useage. Or are they? Does anybody else remember any other examples?
