Challenge 06/JT

or, Pen Gets Pedantic

A Just Technical challenge, because being of Irregular Habit myself, I forgot to post the new challenge at the weekend as I should have done. This one should, I think, be relatively do-able, and useful, although possibly not that interesting.

There are quite a few words which are regularly used incorrectly and seeing them

Also "bath - bathe"! BATH IS NOT A VERB. Unless this is some sort of regional thing that I don't know about!

Additionally, it is "faze" and not "phase" when somebody is put off by something, and "psych" and not "sike" when they're trying to put somebody off. Oh, and somebody plays a "role" and not a "roll".

Oddly, in the UK we're quite likey to use 'bath' as a verb - you bath a baby, etc. 'Bathe' is-to me at any rate-more closely associated with swimming than with having a bath.

I think the faze/phase difference must be another American one, which of course we mun remember when writing in an American fandom - in British English I don't think I'd use 'faze' at all. 'Sike' is of course an abomination wherever you are.

Role/roll - good one. Grr.
