Re: [DL] Writing for the Epitath? [OT]



I don't want to sound like a grammar Nazi or anything, but I'm genuinely
curious.  Why do so many people write "epitath" when the word is
"epitaph?"  I'm not trying to single anyone out, it's just that this
message finally pushed my curiosity over the edge; I've even seen this in
places other than this list.  Is it a dialect thing that I'm unaware of,
or just a very common spelling error?

I've wondered the same thing on the HoE list, where "templer" is often
used in place of "templar."
