Walking on the Boards

Re Highlights, April 9. It sez here: “George C. Scott to trod Coronet’s boards. . . .” My surely obsolete dictionary and my memory define trod as past tense and alternative past participle of tread .

As an aid for future Highlights, here are some more neologisms to run up the linguistic flagpole: to made ; to wrote ; to spoke .

And an aphorism might come in handy: “To erred is human, to forgave divine.”
