Every time they give me an etymology, I crosscheck it in the GREC (if there's a cognate) or Corominas (which means running across the hall). Half the time, they don't even bother.

Did you know that part of my taxes go to these people? Of course there would be worse people to give money to, like the church, but it's quite disturbing.
