> A Collection of Unusual Pedantry [...] ACoUP
Tangential comment but only after reading your post I realised that acoup is an acronym for the blog's full name. All this time I thought it was "a coup" (like a coup d'état) and that "A Collection of Unusual Pedantry" was the blog's tagline.
- donavanm 1y ago“acoup” is also old french and middle english word along the lines of blow, strike, hit, overcome. Id always assumed it was the historic word myself.
