No offence taken. But in the context either is acceptable.

Regardless, Callipygian is a great word.
And we'd be here all night, every night if we attempted to repair every spelling mistake on the forum.

That has to be a great chat up line. "Excuse me but you're looking very callipygian". "What?". "Look here's my card, I'll write it on the back. Look it up and get back to me". That has to be an opening line.

That, together with "nice butt" would be offensive. "Callipygian" could be taken as a compliment.

I thought that the new word was going to be "learnt" Probably a typo

Please, note the location of the OP and understand we don't speak English on this side of the pond.
