This wasn't a misspelling, it was a misused word. People have been misusing words in their conversations forever. When you misuse a word on an Internet board like this, 100 people see it. When you misuse it in a conversation, only a few people may notice.

And if a word is a homonym (or close), you can't tell during oral conversation if a person used an incorrect word or not. "Not to Segway..." and "Not to segue..." would sound the same.

See...and I would have pronounced it "seg". On the Internet nobody knows I am wrong. In a conversation, people would be wondering what the junk I'm talking about.

Ok, so I'm not missing some new slang. Whew.

Suprisesd by that

I have to be very cautious about drawing conclusions because it has been pointed out to me that my analysis of "age, gender, racial bias in the officiating industry" is too "simplistic". Was the evaluative rating of the male refs too low? Was there not a male ref willing to request the game? Were these the three highest rated refs available--which just by sheer probability just happened to be all "female"? If I were to postulate why there were no male refs in that game, then the most parsimonious explanation would simply be: "the assignor only wanted to use only female refs". |

"...a male ref requesting the game..." doesn't happen. (Perhaps blue font would've been appropriate with your statement?) The goal, on the Women's side, has always been to eventually fill Women's game assignments with women officials.
