The article is super confusing. The anecdote about the drifting meaning of "nonplussed" is interesting, but the way it's framed as an example of mistake related to prefixes just doesn't make sense.
I mean they don't give any evidence of a connection between the "wrong" usage of nonplussed and the "wrong" understanding of "non"?
