    After years and years contributing to and reading this forum, I am finally a broken man. I cannot take it anymore.

    Bad enough we can no longer recognize it in ourselves and our friends. Must we also malign it with misspellings?

    Hypocrisy
    has four syllables and the letter "a" is not in any one of them.

    hy·poc·ri·sy

    Please note that the last two syllables do not make the word "racy."

    Bonus quote that includes the word so you can see hypocrisy spelled properly yet again:

    “Our progress in degeneracy appears to me to be pretty rapid. As a nation, we began by declaring that 'all men are created equal.' We now practically read it, 'all men are created equal, except negroes.' When the Know-Nothings get control, it will read, 'all men are created equal, except negroes, and foreigners, and Catholics.' When it comes to this I should prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretense of loving liberty—to Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure, and without the base alloy of hypocrisy.” --A. Lincoln

    OK, I feel better now. Carry on.
