EditorMark @editormark.bsky.social · 14/02/2024"Bellwether" has been misspelled for centuries. It comes from a lead male sheep ("wether") that had a bell tied around its neck. Remember it has nothing to do with the weather. 140
Christian and Yet Not @cwwilkie.org · 14/02/2024You know what I want so badly? Bellwether and belvedere to be etymologically linked. The W-V work, the TH-D work, and functionally they seem not unrelated. But alas. 010
