Great article, despite the painful spelling of "bona fide" as "bonified". I guess they don't have a copy editor.

- grenoire 4y agoWiktionary claims that this form is recognised in Webster's since 1913. Probably a misspelling looking at the context though.
- Bud 4y agoThat's not a "form" of bona fide, however. It's a separate word that means something else.
- kortex 4y agoLanguage isn't static, it never has been, yet as soon as the notion of spell checking came about, written forms of words started to be frozen in time. If "tomorrow" is a valid rendering of "(on) t(he) morrow", I don't see why bonified is an issue.
- Bud 4y agoIt's an issue because "bonified" means something else. Look it up.
- karaterobot 4y agoNobody's saying language doesn't change, but that's not an all-purpose excuse. If people notice your mistake, and it changes their understanding of what you're trying to communicate — including making them doubt your knowledge — then it's a mistake, and not an updated usage.
