Metal Geir Skogul posted:FAKE HISTORY STORY lol it's not, though, people use it because it was a meme in the print journalism industry in the late 20th century, not due to any "etymology myth" like nobody's saying "it's spelled lede because that's what's historically accurate" but congratulations on using all of your vocabulary words for the week in one sentence i guess

Journalists also use “hed” and “dek.” I have no idea why.

Metal Geir Skogul posted:Seriously this isn't hard So did you actually read the link you posted? "lede" is a deliberate misspelling of "lead", but it's been around for 40 years. And quote:Despite the acknowledgment of "lede" by Safire and others, and its subsequent use by journalists and non-journalists alike, phrases employing the traditional spelling of "lead" still find their way into print. implies that "bury the lede" is the more accepted phrase.

It's not an F, you ſimpletons. The long S was hiſtorically uſed in the beginning or middle of words or as the firſt in a double S (e.g. congreſs). Queſtionable typography this time.

You can lede a horse to water, but you can’t make him summarize the most important elements of a story in the opening paragraph.

Aphrodite posted:The "Ye" in Ye Olde is just pronounced "The". Also not something I just figured out but in the same vein. “Thou” was actually the informal version and “you” was the formal version, not the other way around. If you said “thou” to a king he’d probably eat you, as kings were known to do.

Baron von Eevl posted:Yeah, it was just written as þe and people were like "I guess that's a Y, close enough. Ye it is." That's wrong. Type-setters came from the mainland (where moveable type was invented in Europe) and they didn't have that letter (nor do I on this loving Sutsuma phonre). It was never about writing, but printing.
