Beware these commonly confused terms:
underway – in progress
underweigh – underestimate the weight of
underwhey – submerged in milk water

Of words with a “seed” sound not involving seeds, most end with “-cede.” Three (“ex," "pro," “suc”) end with “ceed." “Supersede" is unique.

I'm suddenly inspired to collect back-of-head photos of various editorial types at #EFACon16. #isthismonetizable

If you're already in town for #EFACon16, I am headed to a party and jazz concert with high word-geek cred. Message me.

No Wi-Fi on this flight? Oh gosh.
