Ah, my lad, I hope he did better than you….
Of course it’s just a typo. But I fancy one S. Freud made the “L” key stick, just for me, just this once.
Anyway, I believe Word War III has broken out, and I seem to be enlisted for the long haul here.
Happy New Year, everyone! Back to the trenches!

We have Word War III in this house all the time. Philip, the Practical Man, keeps trying to persuade me to accept usage as an establishment of legitimacy. I, instead, grit my teeth and cling to prescriptivism. (No “parameters” for me!)

Sure it was a typo? If they never open the textbook and only heard it spoken…sadly, it’s possible.
Charming way to start the new year!
