(just to stay in character ... verbiage).

Time-out post.

I hope by your parenthetical you weren't trying to correct my spelling of "verbage". Because it was intentional. Verbage, while not a "dictionary" recognized spelling, is in fact a correct use of the word.

Notice the post right before mine: "Garbage".

From dictionary.com

verbage
verbage
variant of verbiage (q.v.).
Online Etymology Dictionary, © 2010 Douglas Harper

Slang Dictionary

verbage
/ver'b*j/ n. A deliberate misspelling and mispronunciation of verbiage that assimilates it to the word `garbage'.

See what I did there? It's a word game. The last word was "garbage." Verbage is a garbage word. Apology accepted. Ok, game on.

Daily Writing Tips

The Dictionary.com definition that describes “verbage” as an assimilation of verbiage with garbage is not worth the consideration of writers whose goal is to write a form of standard English. We already have a wealth of words that can convey the worthlessness of words, one of which is garbage.
