They should, of course, say 'intuitable'; persons who exhibit intuiton
are intuitive; things that are easily intuited are intuitable. (Yes, I
know, most dictionaries don't make the distinction, but most modern
dictionaries don't distunguish 'imply' and 'infer' either. But
distinctiones sunt servandae is good logic and usage as well as good law.)

Now, now. Respectfully suggest you watch your language. I have known
some intelligent blonds, and even a few intelligent blondes, and quite a
few intelligent secretaries. (Grin.)
