Faze or Phase?
July 13, 2004
The BBC has a fun word quiz on their website currently. Apparently, the editors of the OED (which we librarians know and love) have been warning that incorrect word usage is becoming more and more prevalent, especially in e-mails and in chat rooms. This particular quiz tests your homophone knowledge. Fortunately, I got 10 out of 10 (scoring a “GRATE!” on their scale). That justifies those two years in English grad school…
