So “overseer” is still a valid career path in America?
It's pronounced "officer" nowadays
Do these words share an origin?
Apparently not, but it is interesting how similar they sound.
That's a cool site. Thanks for sharing that!
KRS-One was not wrong. Just because the words had different origins centuries ago doesn't mean that people didn't use them in largely synonymous ways more recently. It's not like racist pigs are researching linguist history.
