Chid=, not ch[=i]'ded, is the imperfect tense of chide.

=Chimera=--k[)i]-m[=e]'ra, not chi-m[=e]'ra, nor k[=i]-m[=e]'ra.

=Chivalric=--sh[)i]v'al-rik, not sh[)i]v-[)a]l'rik. Worcester
allows the latter.

=Chivalrous=--sh[)i]v'al-r[)u]s, not sh[)i]v-[)a]l'rus. Worcester
gives ch[)i]v'al-rus also.

=Chivalry=--sh[)i]v'al-ry, not ch[)i]v'al-ry. Worcester sanctions
both.

=Cicerone=--ch[=e]-che-r[=o]'ne or s[)i]s-e-r[=o]'ne, not

=Cocoa= (k[=o]'k[=o]) is not made from the cocoa-nut or tree, but
from the seeds of the _cacao_ (ka-k[=a]'o) or chocolate tree.

permanent footing in its present signification.

cabbage, and _slaw_ meaning salad. Cole-slaw--cabbage-salad.
The uninstructed soon changed the _cole_ into _cold_ and
substituted _hot_ for the other extreme of temperature, thus
entirely changing the signification. What was really meant, was
_hot cole-slaw_ and _cold cole-slaw_. Many persons still regard
_cole-slaw_ as the proper word, and receipt books give that
orthography. The last editions of Webster and Worcester,
however, only give the words _cole_ and _slaw_ in separate
places and define the latter as "sliced cabbage."

=Combativeness=--k[)o]m'bat-ive-ness, not kom-b[)a]t'ive-ness.

=Come= is often thoughtlessly used for _go_ or some other word. If
How is just leaving Howard's house it is right for How to say,
"I'll come to see you soon," but Howard could not properly say,
_at that place_, the same thing. He should say, "I will go to see
you soon." If they both live in Philadelphia and should meet in
New York, neither could say appropriately, "I'l
