Fuck off you bombastic, pompous ass.
That one WAS a cut and paste from www.thesaurus.com and checked at www.dictionary.com (yeah, I know, alcoholic and the key to the liquor cabinet thing going on there).
But, then we goto Merriam Webster: [link|http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=numbskull|"numbskull"] is a variant of [link|http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=numskull|"numskull"]

Well I'll be... You live and learn - and you...
...in this case, is spelled "I".
Thanks, Greg!
Now fuck off, you too, you ICB.

M-W is an American dictionary.
Not an English one.
Take careful heed.
What they speak over there only looks (well, sounds, too) like English.

Is there such a thing as a Canadian dictionary?
It'd have to have British spelling and USian pronounciation.
Yes, I speeled it that way on porpoise.

So have I - but wasn't that in Nebraska?
Oh well, apparently you're not the only one to think along those lines -- the people doing the casting seemed to agree, anyway, in picking Peter Stormare to chipperize Steve Buscemi.

Yes, but did you follow the further links, *from* M-W?
The fucking *Britannica*, when presented with both variants, says, A) it's sorry, but the [link|http://www.britannica.com/search?query=numskull&submit=Find&source=MWTEXT|result for "numskull"] is only for paying customers(*) -- and in stark contrat thereto, B) claims it's [link|http://www.britannica.com/search?query=numbskull&submit=Find&source=MWTEXT|unable to find any result for "numbskull"]!
Oh well, I take at least some consolation from the fact that you seem just as surprised and sceptical about this as I was.
(*): I *hate* that smarmy way all too many businesses -- from gyms and video-rentals to arseholes lie these Britannica types -- have, of calling their customers "members". Don't you?
