Sometimes, during peer-edit in English class, I want to just

Whoa! I knew the word INcorrigible but I had no idea the whole family of still-used words from which it sprang. Which is rather silly of me, after 4 years of latin, I guess.
Thanks!

Haha, I was actually going to do incorrigible, but the definition came up as something like: "not corrigible, something something something" and I was like, well, this is useless. So corrigible it was!
