A rare specimen, spotted in the wild: "becked."

As in, beckoned, but without that fancy extra syllable. Maybe just a typo, but hopefully it was a pronunciation spelling. The writer was a Texan, but who knows if this is a dialect thing?

(The rare rhetorical question where the answer is "linguists and Texans.")

As I edit the rest of this, my hope that this was an honest mistake and not mere sloppiness is dying rapidly. If you could only have seen that hope! It was adorable.

Nothing to do this weekend, unless you count playing Bully... almost went back hunting; I do love venison.
