infeasible and atypical.
I read The New York Times regularly. Notwithstanding its reputation, this esteemed newspaper often proves to be a fertile source of misuses for this column. Within the space of a few days, for example, I found these two sentences in its pages:
- Photo caption: a real estate developer, says that an 18-story building would not be obtrusive, and that a smaller one is unfeasible.
- Headline: Town Mourns Typical Businessman Who Took Untypical Risks
The words unfeasible and untypical are not necessarily wrong, but they are nonstandard. The preferred forms are infeasible and atypical.
But you'd be dead wrong.
intelligent? 18-story building :-)
