What?! What?! This sounds preposterous! However, I am in strong agreement.

Looked it up. From the Latin, for "in the wrong order." The word derivation is not so easy to find on dictionary lookup online. And all institutions seem to be carrying the bait for us to swallow at this point:

For example, from Merriam Webster:
"The idea that extraterrestrials built the pyramids is preposterous." Oh?

"Matthias and Nina’s hate-to-love relationship is preordained, while Mal’s successful survival of multiple gunshot wounds is preposterous."

The Dictionary sites have veered away from exact translation of the roots of the words, while usage, "use it in a sentence" politics has become the norm.

Truthers are about to have a field day. Instead of the temptation of saying "I told you so," it will be moments of hand-holding, powdering up the Red Pill in easily digestible amounts.
