An excellent reason not to use $10 words when $1 words will do the job nicely. (Now, if only I could convey this to the people whose work I edit….)

I’ve noticed that in older literature. Sometimes I want to correct people when they use “perusal,” but I bite my tongue. The old meaning is in the process of fading and the new one will become correct. Another example, in 17th and 16th century literature “I doubt” meant “I’m sure.”

sounds like an amble rather than a guided walk, hence the confusion. Valuable tip

I thought it meant, “for your use”…
