Word of the Day: "Futilitarian"

Holy cow, I cannot believe that “futilitarian” is a real, accepted word in the dictionary. It sounds made-up!

A lot of words are starting to sound made-up. I have a suspicion that some of them are made-up. Only they managed to pull the wool over somebody’s eyes back in the day, and then eventually time passed, and it acquired a certain stamp of legitimacy. Which only compounds the problem.
