The Database entries no longer say that comments are closed, but I couldn’t get a comment to publish just now, so I thought maybe it might be a good idea to start a thread for comments on particular Database articles.
The newest article—on perennial>>preannual—doesn’t mention that Ken Lakritz posted a very closely related reshaping 2005/10/09 (perennial>>perannual). It’s here (you have to scroll down to comment 704):

Ken’s reshaping is less drastic and therefore returns many more Google hits. It may also be a bit more obviously eggcornish.
