I might not be able to spell Treo, but I do have a handle on some tragic English language fuck ups in the name of pretentiousness.
Here's the take away: Penultimate does NOT mean "the über-ultimate." If you say, "We cannot try to solve life's penultimate questions 24/7..." beware. You sound like an idiot.
pe·nul·ti·mate [pi-nuhl-tuh-mit]:
–adjective
1. next to the last: the penultimate scene of the play.
"the author inadvertently reveals the murderer in the penultimate chapter"; "the figures in the next-to-last column"
