George Carlin: " 'Chalance' should be a word. After all, we have 'non-chalance' ". Paul Kennedy's book "The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers" could have been significantly shortened, had he simply substituted "strategic" for "strategical," which I think appeared on just about every page.

How about doing strange combos next time -- like Ginormous? There must be a bunch of mashups like that one...

I’m shuddering over “strategical.” But I like the idea of combination words.

Apparently, "strategical" is valid ("strategic" is preferred). But it was like a hiccup every time I read it :-)
