  • sionnach Is it will o' the wisps, or wills o' the wisp? And with that question, de profundis, I bid ye all good night, my Wordie friends. Mar 3, 2009

  • yarb When thorough noisome fenland at close of day a-roaming,
    Beware and shun yon will o' the wisp, a-glomming in the gloaming. Mar 3, 2009

  • sionnach Don't get me wrong. I share the horror about the appendice-itis. But I was more intrigued by the phrase:

    when he heard the new girl bandying this solecism, (he) fastened upon it like a will o' the wisp

    I guess I had never thought of will o' the wisps in terms of their glomming abilities. Quite the contrary, in fact. Mar 2, 2009

  • rolig Brilliant suggestion, c_b! Maybe if it keeps on happening you could mutter, "dick… s," and then when challenged, explain (if you still have your job). Mar 2, 2009

  • reesetee Hahaha! Mar 2, 2009

  • chained_bear Perhaps every time someone mispronounces it, you could say "-dix." Thus:

    Bill: "Perhaps we should put that data in an appendice."
    Yarb: "-dix."

    That'll get their attention. Mar 2, 2009

  • reesetee No! Seriously, yarb? You have my deepest sympathy. And if you want the editors on Wordie to storm your office in protest, just say the word....

  • yarb I trace the malaise to someone who joined about a year ago. I suspect my boss harboured a guilty uncertainty, and when he heard the new girl bandying this solecism, fastened upon it like a will o' the wisp. Then everyone else started parroting him, and now I'm out in the cold with my appendix, contemplating a career move. Mar 2, 2009

  • rolig grooaannn Mar 2, 2009

  • yarb The singular of appendices, according to everyone else in my department.

    Pronounced in four syllables, e.g. "perhaps we should put that data in an əˈpɛndɪˌsi..." Mar 2, 2009
