Court weighs usage as wait on versus wait for in English
The Court of Peeves opens summer terms with Dr Michael Patton seeking to ban wait on as improper. Lexicographers Morris and Wharton debate usage against Webster’s, Carlyle and others cited. The court sustains standard usage, noting distinctions between forthright forthcoming and other pairs. It also clarifies masterful versus masterly and acronym versus initialism, granting judgments where appropriate.
