ventaI 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.
