Really? How does one pre-drill?
" pre-drill - to drill before. Pretty basic semantics.
"Drill before driving screw or nail" Wouldn't that be pre-driving or pre-crewing in that case.
If what you meant to say was "Drill before driving screw or nail" why not simply say "I drilled hole prior to nailing or screwing the pieces together.
"pre- a prefix occurring originally in loanwords from Latin, where it meant €śbefore€ť (preclude; prevent); applied freely as a prefix, with the meanings €śprior to,€ť €śin advance of,€ť €śearly,€ť €śbeforehand,€ť €śbefore,€ť "
As they say KISS (principle).
