In fact, words like "intercede" and "recede" (and, well, "cede") are
probably the main reason people misspell "supersede."

I guess not clear enough to one person. Smileys are our friend.

It hardly originated with her; it has roots in actual and documentable
usage as captured in Frank and Moon Unit Zappa's "Valley Girl."
Is this a dialect comparable to Boontling? I don't know, but if it is
it should certainly be written with heart-shaped dots over the i's and
j's (proposal formerly at
