I was tantalized to see a top link to Urban Dictionary.
I was very disappointed to see the current number one definition:
1. Indivisual - A person that has not found out there purpose in life yet.
"Most people know what they want to be when they are young, but I have not yet. I guess I am an indivisual."
Needless to say, I was dismayed at the inference that I am a wandering soul who is purposeless. I read on...
The number two definition was much closer to mine, and at least less pejorative:
2. Indivisual - (adj.) A person who's visual style or portrayal goes against that of the norm. They are a rogue visualist. Usually used in referring to sub-culture or sub-genre artists and designers.
"Monsieur Z is a contemporary indivisual illustrator who's style has been widely copied from the pages of Wallpaper* Magazine."
However, neither definition was satisfactory for conveying the concepts that I have intended the word to carry on this website... And so, I proffered my own definition. Hope you like it.
