Yes. What bothers me about this is that ${x}'s twit-ness is merely an opinion. It may be an informed opinion, but it usually is not. My neice is someone most people would dismiss as a 'twit', unworthy of further engagement. Fact is, my niece suffers from a neurological disorder that inhibits her mental and physical capabilities but these disabilities are
not immediately apparent. People who dismiss her are missing out on an incredible kid. It is nice, though, to sit in judgement of others. It makes one feel all invincible and stuff.
