You absolutely didn't use the word "indignant" correctly, that's for sure. If you're going to make fun of others and say people should "make some sense once in a while", I would at least make sure what you're saying makes sense.
Just a warning, "friend", arrogance/pride always comes before a fall and if this is your regular attitude, you're currently in the "but Lord Lord, didn't I..." camp. Only God's true children produce righteous fruit. The rest, well.... act like you. We will know true brothers/sisters by their fruit, and yours is pretty rotten. So I wouldn't continue to go around bragging while cutting other people down, because right now, you clearly aren't following the one you claim to follow and that's only going to lead to 1 place and it isn't heaven.
"I would hazard a guess and say that what is really bothering you is somebody knows things that you do not. And you are feeling......quite indignant about this deficiency."
"You absolutely didn't use the word "indignant" correctly, that's for sure."
AI stridently disagrees with your rather flippant (and erroneous) assessment.
Yes, the term indignant is used perfectly here from a grammatical standpoint, and it paints a very specific picture contextually.
Here is a breakdown of why it works and the exact nuance it brings to your sentence:
The Grammar
Your sentence structure is flawless.
"feeling" acts as a linking verb connecting the subject ("you") to the state of being.
"indignant" is the predicate adjective describing that state.
"about" is the correct preposition to use with indignant when pointing to the cause of the emotion (e.g., indignant about a deficiency, indignant at a comment).
The Nuance
While grammatically correct, it is worth looking at the exact definition of the word to ensure it hits the exact emotional note you intend:
Indignant: Feeling or showing anger or annoyance at what is perceived as unfair treatment or an unjust insult.
By using "indignant," you are suggesting that this person isn't just annoyed they don't know the information—they feel actively wronged, offended, or insulted by their own deficiency (or by the fact that the other person knows it). It perfectly captures the "huffy,"
defensive pride of someone whose ego has been bruised.
