"cronically" <- was it intentional? (It's a neat pun regardless).
- toyg 7y agoProbably a non-native-English-speaker. In many Euro languages, words derived from Kronos (i.e. related to time and recurrence, like chronological and chronically) have a C rather than CH spelling (cronologico, cronicamente, cronico...). “Crony” has a similar root (“people hanging out together all the time”) but it’s an exception in the English language, where such words use CH; it’s also (ironically) a very English term, that doesn’t really translate. So this is probably a typo.
- pygy_ 7y agoTIL, thanks :-)
