It's douchey as hell, and representative of the ever-diminishing literacy of our population.
More evidence: all of the ignorant uses of "hallucinate" here, when what's happening is FABRICATION.
How is fabrication different than hallucination? Perhaps you could also call it synthesis, but in this context, all three sound like synonyms to me. What's the material difference?
Hallucination is a byproduct of mental disruption or disorder. Fabrication is "I don't know, so I'll make something up."
