Let’s make this as clear as possible.

The text you sometimes find before the actual beginning of the book? It’s not called a forward. It’s called a foreword.

A great many otherwise-intelligent people keep making that mistake, and it keeps driving me crazy. So, stop it, everybody.

Thank you.

  1. But they put the foreward forward of the rest of the book. Sometimes it’s even four words. :(

  2. That does it. I have simply got to institute a pun tax…

  3. consider us forewarned about the foreword faux paus ;)

  4. What does a hip-hop artist say while playing golf? “Fore! Word!”
