Talk:acerote

Request for verification
The OED speculates that this originated with Cockeram (1623?) misreading acerose ("chaffy"). This was then apparently picked up by Minsheu, whose ambiguous phrasing led it to be interpreted as a noun by some later copyists. Does not appear to have had any actual uptake, anywhere, ever. -- Visviva 13:30, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
