I see a lot of people using different terms to describe us. A brief description of suffixes:

- naut means a voyager, explorer, or traveler according to !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . So things like astronaut, juggernaut, psychonaut , et cetera. I feel like the people who use Opponaut are more correct in their usage.

- naught/nought means “nothing”. For example, the Dreadno ught, as a ship, was named that because it fears nothing. The people who use Opponaught are saying “Opposite Nothing”, basically.

I can’t tell you what to do, as I legally can’t enforce word usage except in certain cases, but I hope this helps.

Finally, a term we can all agree on! I feel like it’ll really tie us together.

My inner grammarian makes my eye twitch whenever I see Opponaught, but I try to pick my battles.

Keep Oppo Micronaut.

So Opponaught is a good insult?
