So, when the Maven spied the word PAUCITY in a recent Journal Gazette story, the Maven got quite a chuckle. The reason for the words presence in the story is very clear. The J-G writer wanted to throw a curve ball at those in the electronic media who would eventually rewrite and regurgitate the story and pass it off to their audiences as their own work. To the Maven's knowledge PAUCITY did not make it into the electronic media stories, however the Maven (and the Journal Gazette writer) would have loved to see the kids in the WOWO news room scratching around to find a dictionary to decipher this "new" word.
Well done, Journal Gazette. Well done.
And just in case you misplaced your dictionary....

ReplyDeleteI know. I had to look this one up myself.
Sometimes, someone DOES get it right.
Nice job all around.
I'll be waiting for the next "oh crap" to diminish this "WTG".
(usually takes ten WTGs to overcome ONE "oh crap", right?
Stay safe out there.
Love it, too bad the Journal as enough scruples (spelling) to print a false story to see if the children at 21 run with it verbatum.
