Ah, so people've been making this mistake for over two hundred years but thanks to people like you, this misuse of language has been all but eradicated?
I tend to remind people who think that this is an error that, although I share their disliking...
- There is a case for the word and it predates us
- Languages are dynamic and today's "correct" spelling is yesterday's "erroneous" spelling.
I thought until recently that the spelling was "simply incorrect" until I found out there was more to it. It therefore is a reminder to myself as well.
Radicated?
;)
