I'll have you know I've conspired alone on numerous occasions. I do some of my best conspiring alone. There's less stress. Less worrying if you're co-conspirator really did eat those tell tale papers or did she just hide it under her tongue? I hate that stupid document drama. I don't need it. And I won't have it.

Hmmm . . . I have always believed that "co" conspirators were those who knew something was up, but weren't in on the actual details.

Which would, I guess, make . . . George W. Bush a co-conspirator.

I, too, have conspired alone. But it's much more fun to have a partner.

I am of the opinion that when you conspire alone, you're plotting. And Dictionary.com lists the two words as synonyms, so there.

i'm not sure if that's in the AP style guide or not, but it's pretty dumb.

Perhaps they are trying to be overly egalitarian and are using "co" to denote equal contribution on all parts?

I don't know. It IS annoying, though.

i prefer to Aspire.

I'm totally with EV on this one. Consipring is way more fun with the assistance of another. As is "agulating."

Agulating may not even be possible as a solo gig. Unless done, of course, by the ept, kempt, and horrent.

Oh trust me Doombot, it is.

I'm just cuckoo for cocoa puffs...or is that Co-koo for co- co-puffs. damn..i need some cereal.

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913):

Conspire \Con*spire"\, v. t.
To plot; to plan; to combine for.

Personally, I much prefer to scheme.
