Wednesday - SoccerRef Thought of the Day
Language Abuse: Don't say long-lived. Do Say long-lived. Comment: This compound is not derived from ''to live longly'' (you can't say that) but from ''having a long life'' and should be pronounced accordingly. The plural stem, live(s), is always used: "short-lived," "many-lived," "triple-lived."
