Summer Brake
A friend of mine (not a native speaker of English) (not that native speakers or even spelling correctors know any better) sent out this message:
« … on a besoin d’un petit repos… Summer brake! »
I thought about “correcting” her, but then I became aware of the poetry in this “misspelling”.
The word “should” be spelled “break”, and, yet, “brake” is kind of perfect, too! I mean, we need to slow down in the summer, don’t we?
