The other day, a vendor at work kept saying “antidote” in the following way:
“When you give antidotes in class, maybe only use one or two. When you use three or more antidotes, you really eat up time on the clock.” The instructor to whom he was speaking nodded, but looked a little confused. I would have been too. If an antidote is any good, you should only need one, right?
Should be the same for ANECDOTES.
