       @grammargirl This is a problem that I carefully avoid by (some might say antiquated and pernicious) use of the two volume Compact Edition of the OED, which renders all eight volumes into two through the use of minuscript and a handily furnished magnifying glass. Of course, I may go blind, but it doesn’t require passwords.

       @grammargirl That's very, very funny  . . . and often true. It parallels my wife's misreading of the old British Asiatick as "asia-tick"  and my mother's unintentional spoonerism of snide and flippant as "snippant."
