May 7, 2026, 10:02 PMmorning quandry - seeing a post from an author I appreciate that contains a grammatical error due to word choice, and I would give them a subtle correction to apply and everyone moves on with a sense of community bolstered ...
however: when I research the word they chose and discover that it apparently does now have the meaning ascribed to it in the post ... yet I am _sure_ the only reason it was chosen was because it is a homophone for the word they actually want and that the apparent wider usage is in fact weight of everyone else getting it wrong over time ... but that's how language works ... and yet ... Wrongness!
