New word aborning?
I recently ran across the word "ferverent" on the intertubes. I looked it up in the online OED, which doesn't know of it, but if you Google it, you get a 63,000 hits (along with the query of whether you meant "fervent"). From what I can tell, it means the same thing as "fervent," but perhaps with added fever. (It seems to be associated with the word "prayer" a lot, too.)
Anyway, it was a new one on me. My initial thought was that it was a typo.
