Last week I came across a sentence somewhere that used the word teaming. It's a nice word, if you're talking about teaming up, but the writer meant to convey abundance, not people banding together for a cooperative enterprise. The right word, therefore, would be teeming, as in abounding or swarming.
I am counting on you and others to help me spot any inappropriately used words. Spell check does not catch that kind.
ReplyDeleteWere you a proofreader in another world? I was and I catch these kinds of things all the time. But it is true a proofreader can't proofread themselves. So keep us on our toes. How are you doing btw?
