It really bugs me when they say "meddled" for winning a race.


It's "medalled" ie to win a medal ;-)


Who knows what it is.


It use to be 'be-medalled' as 'adorned with medals' and that already
was known to be a made up word..


And it also bothers me when the guy with his finger on The Button can't
even _pronounce_ nucula.


Its a jolly hard word to pronounce for any chimpanzee.
