Wake-keeping: “Wake-keeping” exists only in the imagination of a few English speakers. As a matter of fact, there is no such thing as “wake-keeping.” The correct word is wake and not even “wake-keep.” Both “wake-keeping” and “wake-keep” are ungrammatical. What about "Night vigil" 1 Like |

I had an argument with some ignorant girl about the word "installmentally" and she was very very sure that I was wrong. She was the type that acted like it was a crime to be wrong. I ditched her fast before her ignorance infected me. |
