Retribution is a righteous infliction, as manifested by an appropriate agent.

Can I make you a WHAT? That's an interesting word, but I've never seen it before. Retribution means paying back - look it up in the dictionary (while you're checking the spelling of that other word) and it will tell you the exact meaning, and from that point you won't have any trouble using it properly.

To me, "retribution" is a fancy way of saying "revenge".

Sure! "Yahoo will seek retribution- if you cause trouble on their 'Answers Site.' BEWARE! :) How's that?
