Today's OneWord: Withheld
FUN FACT: OneWord misspelled the word withheld as "witheld." So I had some fun. English teacher powers activated!
I examined the student's essay in front of me, and the first thing that immediately caught my eye was a rather awkward typo in the opening paragraph - in trying to introduce the concept that the United States government had concealed information and files of the JFK assassination, the college-level pupil had typed, "witheld," not "withheld," as it was properly spelled. Needless to say, I attacked the word with a red pen and moved on.
