"Forego"/"forgo."

Oh, come on! Who doesn't know the "forego"/"forgo" distinction?!

I'm reading this humor piece in The New Yorker — "Dr. Seuss’s Freelance Rhymes and Woes" by Jeremy Nguyen — and I'm having a pretty humorless reaction to the last of 6 reinvented Dr. Seuss book covers:



The Grammarist explains:

The original definition of forego is to go before. This definition is easy to remember because both forego and before have the syllable fore, with an e. To forgo, meanwhile, is to do without (something) or to pass up voluntarily. But forgo has so completely encroached on forego's territory that the latter’s older sense is now essentially lost (outside legal contexts and the phrase foregone conclusion—see below), and forgo now bears the secondary definition to go before.

In short, the foregone conclusion is don't write "forego."

I remember when The New Yorker was punctilious about word editing.

Thus articles "Forego"/"forgo."

that is all articles "Forego"/"forgo." This time, hopefully can provide benefits to all of you. Okay, see you in another article posting.
