Lawrencelawrencelry@mastodon.socialOct 21, 2026, 3:20 AM@glennf I learned about ‘type lice’ in this book. There’s a Cantonese phrase called ‘zuk1 zi6 sat1 (捉字蝨)’, which means nitpicking about language usage and literally means ‘catch word lice’. Wonder if they’re historically connected.

@lawrencelry Interesting! A catchword in European printing was a word at the bottom of the page that was also at the top of the next page, but I don’t know if that was literally translated.
