Yesterday’s Peanuts is today’s Peanuts.
Lucy’s dilemma reminds me of the great discussions of prefixes in two recent episodes of A Word in Your Ear — 1, 2. A Word in Your Ear is a podcast from the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, hosted by Katherine Feeney and Roly Sussex.

Funny! I'm going to try to remember to use this.
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me, for the first time I encountered the word "ruth", meaning "pity/care". Why do we only use "ruthless"?
(It was in Wuthering Heights---a character has ruth for others.)
“Disobvious” must share some language DNA with “unpossible,” don’t you think?
ReplyDeleteI wonder when “ruth” fell out of use. It makes me think of “disheveled,” though there never was a “sheveled.”
