[ExI] word fun

I see where 'obliviot' is becoming standard usage.  As a word person I am
concerned about new words and so have these ideas:

If we have a noun for a person then why not have a noun for that quality
too?  I suggest obliviotness  (or oblivioticy, obliviotment, or ????)  "the
obliviotness was quite apparent at the convention"

For an adjective:  obliviotish - "The principal's scathing reply was so
obliviotish."

Then there's oblivioting for a verb  'Joe Blow is oblivioting again - so
sad.'

I suppose we need past participles and all that, but I will leave those for
others.
