is that supposed to be sarcastic with intentionally misspelled words?

I think so but I am not the author.

No, it's meant to be satirical...the words are not misspelled, they're all examples of the "condition" being discussed.

Entomology.....hehe

yah, it looks like the wrong words used, such as described in the beginning. i often have a difficult time not knowing if somone is being sarcastic or not. some people talk that way all the time and i can never tell. some like 'metal' instead of mental are obvious.

i expected the whole thing to be specific, metal and mental are way off from each other and do not even fit within the scope of the subject

The subject is people using incorrect words that sort of sound similar to the intended word, most often in an attempt to make oneself appear more clever. The satirical angle is that the entire post is written in this manner...hence, fitting the "scope of the subject". :p

I intended it, when posted, to be a word of the day sort of thing. I also thought it fitting with Pete's rants about the correct words lately. When I saw it, it was obvious how intelligent it REALLY looked and hopefully for members here to notice in their own writings.
