Oh - re: old wise tale vs old wives tale. For years, in school and then in the workforce, i thought C-change was sea-change. I thought it was like when the waves went up and down....
And you were right! What on earth is a C-change? Sea-change goes back at least to Shakespeare.
ugh - so someone gave me the incorrect answer when i gathered up the courage to finally ask about it at the big company i worked for, when it was the buzzword of choice for a while. (oh well, i guess my point was that sometimes a person hears something in a different way; nothing to do with teething.)
