So I was reading my African homework, getting into the scholarly frame of mind, when suddenly I stumbled upon a sentence:
"From 1948 to 1951 the Ogbonis, under a dynamic leader, dominated the administration of the Benin Division to the chargin of its traditional ruler, the Oba of Benin, and the distress of its people."
I believe the word that they were helplessly groping for was "chagrin." The meaning of the sentence is COMPLETELY altered...and ultimately lost. I love spelling errors in scholarly work.
