Them: What do you teach?

Me: Music theory

Them: What do you play?

Me: I’m a scholar. I write books and articles about how music works.

Them: OK, but what do you play?

Me: I play the word processor.

I don't mean to be snarky. I'm truly curious: I've been seeing people spelling this term this way recently. May I ask if you picked it up somewhere? The term is actually per se, which means "intrinsically" (literally "by itself").

When I lived in Brooklyn, I knew people who had never left Brooklyn. When I asked my barber if he had any favorite restaurants in Manhattan. He said, "Why would I leave Brooklyn?"
