Spoilers for This One Is Really Challenging - Lois & Clark Fanfic Message Boards

QUIZ SPOILER!! Close your eyes if you haven't taken the quiz yet!

What's interesting about 'supersede' is that the derivation is this:

Quote

Middle English superceden, to postpone, from Old French superceder, from Latin supersedre, to refrain from : super-, super- + sedre, to sit; see sed- in Indo-European Roots.

So anyone who thought it was spelled 'supercede' is, in one sense, even more right than the rest of us.

It's not spelled supercede???? But, but, but... man, just when I thought I was doing pretty good, you have to go and throw that at me...

who's main exposure to this word was in the game of Payday... "Supercede your old seeds with new improved Superseeds!"

Who shall I believe, some quiz, or Merriam Webster ?

Twin, I love you!

Guess which spelling I picked in the quiz?
