Le mot juste - does it matter, who cares anyway if it is the right word?

That's so funny Maw.

Great article though Maw, and a new one for me!

Mamie

In French interment / burial is inhumation. Interesting that we use exhumation, but do not (generally) use the reverse.

Wikipedia

L'enterrement ou inhumation est un rite funéraire pratiqué dans la majorité des cultures, consistant pour l'essentiel à l'enfouissement d'un cadavre, ou d'un cercueil le contenant, dans le sol ou dans un caveau aménagé dans le sol.

I didn’t know there was a fancy word for what I call malapropisms. Every day on Gransnet is a school day.

A very useful word Maw, thank you.

Enjoyed that Maw!

No feathers ruffled here either. Having not heard or read it- I thought it could well be just a typo, and that many GNeters might not be aware that interment' is a posh (Norman) word for 'burial'. And that in the grand scale of things, it is not vitally important. Simple.

Loved that Maw

I love crosswords so always knew about interment/internment (they simply wouldn’t fit the same, would they!) but I do love it when one friend struggles with pronouncing imminent (liniment) and reverts to ‘coming soon’!

Acyrologiphobia My tongue just got into a knot trying to pronounce that word. Do hope we haven't caused you to have a complete metal breakdown

That’s ?
Maw you certainly didn’t ruffle my feathers. I always thought it was ‘internment’

I mix words up, don't know when I do. But not the elk of the photo.
