Highlight incorrect usage?
[edit]I used to use the word 'prevaricate' (incorrectly) to mean 'procrastinate' and since I've realised my error I've noticed that it's a common mistake. Might it be worth pointing that out here? Pendant 10:34, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
- It's not actually incorrect (see (deprecated template usage) prevaricate), although it is fairly recent (150 years or so). The OED describes this as "now the usual sense". Ƿidsiþ 10:59, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
