Caryn Ann Harlos Posted September 5, 2019 at 03:25 PM Report Share Posted September 5, 2019 at 03:25 PM I see language in RONR disciplinary procedures using the word "preferred" and it puzzles me as no definition of that word seems to meet the context - is it supposed to be "proferred" which is typical legal language? Or is this some more archaic use of "preferred"? Gracias. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Honemann Posted September 5, 2019 at 03:30 PM Report Share Posted September 5, 2019 at 03:30 PM Try googling the phrase "prefer charges". 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryn Ann Harlos Posted September 5, 2019 at 03:45 PM Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2019 at 03:45 PM (edited) Thank you!! I had a brain burp and was just googling "preferred charges". And I learned that I have misheard for years and many times when I had believed the word used was "proffer" it is actually "prefer." I bet this is fairly common egg corn.

George Mervosh Posted September 5, 2019 at 04:00 PM Report Share Posted September 5, 2019 at 04:00 PM I prefer to never have charges preferred against me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the only example of egg corn that I have ever heard of. I don't know if that meets the definition of "common." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
