I think Gary is just trying to modernise the English language

Many of the responses are acerbic and/or contain acumen.

Nice catch Bob. Never occurred to me. acumenical should be a word, and henceforth shall be in my lexica:

Acumnen n. Quickness, accuracy, and keenness of judgment or insight.

Acumenical adj. Acumen displayed with undertones of ascerbic religious fervor. (Used only by REAL men).

Yep, derivation from acumen - I made it up.

acumen - shrewdness shown by keen insight

Although, the word "acuminous" would have perhaps be a better choice (and in the dictionary too!).

I don't know why the shift from "en" to "in".
