Common Errors in English Usage Dictionary
Deep seeded & deep-seated
Those who pine for the oral cultures
of Ye Olden Dayes can rejoice as
we enter an era wheremany people are unfamiliar
with common expressions in print
and know them only by hearsay.
The result is mistakes like “deep seeded.”
The expression has nothing to do
with a feeling being planted deep within one,
but instead refers to its being seated firmly within one’s breast:
“My aversion to anchovies is deep-seated.”
Compounding their error,
most people who misuse this phrase leave the hyphen out.
Tennis players may be seeded, but not feelings.
*The notion that English should be spelled
as it is pronounced is widespread,
but history is against the reformers in most cases.
Pronunciation is often a poor guide to spelling.
The veneration of certain political movements
for the teaching of reading through phonics
is nicely caricatured by a t-shirt slogan I’ve seen: “Hukt awn fonix."
