Word in question: Conversate

  • November 5, 2010, 12:50am

'Conversate' sounds to me like it should mean 'one who is conversational', a chatty or charming person: "He was conversate and entertaining at dinner, a most erudite fellow."

But then I only encountered the word for the first time today in a list of detested office-speak, googled it and now I'm here.
