Oh that explains it. I've been struggling for some time to work out why I'd heard of Benedict Cumberbatch (surely the most unwieldy name in showbiz) prior to his playing Sherlock. IMDB didn't really offer any clues. Anyway, it turns out he played the rather inept Captain Martin Crief in Cabin Pressure

Cabin Pressure is a Grade II radio 4 comedy )

I was just re-reading a comment I'd made on someone else's LJ (proof read before hitting the post button, y'say? crazy) and noticed something distressing.

I cold-bloodedly used the word "improval". As in "you should see signs of improval in a short time".

Worse, I only thought it looked kind of odd, and I spent some time wondering how I should have spelled it before I finally realised that it's not a word.

Three smacks on the nose with the complete OED for me when I get home this evening, to be repeated daily until there is some improvement in the situation.
