Yeah. If I'm not sure whether an author's usage is correct, I google it. A couple of minutes of research can save me from making a fool of myself, plus I'll have learned something. I still wince at the memory of one reader who angrily ranted in a Teaspoon "essay" (back when such postings were still allowed) that "whinge" was not a word and she was sick of seeing it. If only she'd bothered to check her facts first.
