    Litrassy

    On Earplet Major's "literacy" worksheet tonight, which is an actual publised teaching resource, we find the word "antedote" being offered as an example of the use of the prefix "ante".

    What the fuck?

    antedote = whatever happened before the doting began.

    Simple, innit?

      lyra's reply to this thread has disappeared. Has she been waiting since the board went down last night to delete it or are there one or two lingering gremlins?

          Oh God. Literally I just posted that (it just said that society was in serious moral decline) and then i tried to post something "humorous" about Wyatt missing an H and - it keeled over and died.

            That "antedote" thing above really is absolutely incredible. And a bit frightening.

              I'm still wondering what 'publised' means. Is it when a building is converted into a drinking establishment?

                Yeah, I really must employ a team of proof-readers.

                  A team really is necessary. Our agency proof-reader misses stuff all the time, and she's good. Must be sheer volume, or her eyes just go buggy after a while.

                    I pretty much proofread for a living, and I reckon that's why all my posts are so sloppy.

                      Sorry, WE. Sub-editing is so engrained in my soul that I start to weep uncontrollably whenever I see a typo. Almost.

                      If I make one myself, I head for the 'suicidal thoughts' thread.
