Brain: Wakey wakey!
Me: mmh?
Brain: It's 5am! Time to review every social solecism you committed in that dream.
Me: That was a _dream_, brain. It's not real life.
Brain: Don't worry! We're coming to those ones next.

I’m not sure why I never considered the etymology of solecism — and wow: it’s all because the Athenian colonists in Soloi, in Cilicia, allowed their Athenian Greek to degrade! This has me wondering about other historical-geographic etymologies :) Lilliputian!

Sometimes I worry that people are getting the words perpetuated and perpetrated mixed up but their point *just* about stands either way so they’ll never realise - Nice solecism you just perpetrated sure would be a shame if someone perpetuated it.
