Obviously NOT a Math Textbook

An excerpt from my most recent proofreading book on teaching vocabulary:

“… the root struct … occurs in well over 300 words in English! Now let’s look at the root hydr…. This root occurs in almost 500 words in English — more than three times as many words as struct.”

Uh. I asked for verification on those data.

  1. Well it could be true depending on how you count such words as hydrostructure and lack of words like structirhydrapanic.
