Nah, its just that hes the only person Ive ever heard used the word,
but its been established that my profinity proficiency is limited. :)

I'm not calling you a liar, I just cant find another practical focus.

Certainly not. However there is an individual anointing that IS
precious. 

And, by the way, now for the real controversy: 

I am not of the opinion that Bible Schools can make preachers.
However, teaching them who would like to be in a pulpit what are good
pulpit manners, and may very well effect positively those who are
actually called to preach. It would be sad, however if the importance
of a person just "being themselves" ever escaped the student's earnest
eye.
