CAN WE ENDURE ANY MORE INURE (MENT)?

No doubt, Joe has some skill with the pen/keyboard.  However, he has a tendency to be overly verbose (redundancy intended).  For example, he intentionally uses obscure words in a vain attempt to make himself look smart.  Well, smarter than the rest of us on Medford Patch.

His latest etymological offering is Inurement. As used by Joe, this is actually Private Inurement.  From Wikipedia: Private Inurement is the illegal use of one's influence over a non-profit organization for personal profit.

I did a quick internet search for related words and definitions.  Finding none, I was forced to create my own.  In part, they help define a writing style I call Vigiloni (rhymes with baloney).
