You naively don't speak your native language and believe that the word doesn't exist.
Me I am a foreigner and I teach it to you.
Gates' Microsoft Word also recognizes it.
So, it's a nice word.
For you.
By all means, keep learning your native language from foreigners.
Ion, maybe you need to turn the spell-checker on... It's not in The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language - Fourth Edition, nor recognised by my MS Word Spellchecker. Perhaps you meant to use 'unqualified,' instead.
If you can show me a valid source, please let me know. I'm not picking on you; I'm a Doctoral candidate and, therefore, very anal about words :)
No arguing that it's a nice word, but it's also a made-up word.
Microsoft may rule the world, but they are not the lexicons of the English language. Try a dictionary next time and, perhaps, explain what it means. That's why I mentioned it. Foreigner or not, you still haven't teach it to me since I don't know what it means.
Hey, I started swimming at 19 after a childhood of unexercise. Does that qualify me as a "late bloomer?" Just want to know if I'm in the running for another category besides clydesdale.

Well keep being and learn:
'un-qualifications' is recognized by Microsoft Word.
I have Microsoft Word open right now, and it is recognized as a word without errors in it.

"Foreigner or not, you still haven't teach it to me..."
becomes:
"Foreigner or not, you still have to teach it to me..."
according to me the foreigner who teaches the locals their language.

To a degree, yes.
I started at 28, so I am more late bloomer than you, and if you are slower than my 12:25 in the 1,000 free, then I am also faster than you.
I think that I spoon feed you trivial information here.

See why you need to go to the elementary school?
It's Indianapolis, not Undianapolis.

With that monstrous $85K salary, you can probably go first class - on Greyhound. Dude, you really need to stop crowing about $85K in the high tech industry. That is well below average, along with your 100 times.
This shows your un-qualifications again:
the salary is above average in Southern California, you are below that salary in your own country and culture, and you don't make my times.
I think that you are the man of the bogus.
That's why I say that your mediocrity is excellence to the mediocre.
I was being funny, but you still have yet to define the word that you "teach" me. Hmmmm... maybe because it's not in the dictionary? Maybe it's in your MS Word because you used it previously and overrode the spellchecker when it told you that "unqualifications" (no hyphen) is not a word?
WAITAMINUTE!!!!!
"if you are slower than my 12:25 in the 1,000 free, then I am also faster than you."
Last time I swam 1000 that I recall was in April 2001. I swam 12:20.08 at the SCY Colonies Zone SCY Champs. That, by the way, was in the afternoon. That morning I competed in a duathlon. I also recall swimming a faster thousand split the next day in the 1650 (though I died at the end).
HA HA HA HA.... I AM THE LATE BLOOMER CHAMPION IN THE 1,000!!!!!!
I am always amazed and inspired to see the older folks do the 200 fly. Not sure I even ever want to try that, but you never know I might try it some day. And those old guys will probably beat me!! I do them in practice from time to time, just for a humbling experience!
