COMPLAINT: a wistful.grievance
CONTRI and DISTRI Someone somewhere decided English needed to be changed. As usual with our copy-cat world, so dire an unthinking band wagon has spread as a forest fire. An academic,typically verbose, wrote 'why use one when two' could sound more up-to-date and new! Thus the 'double prefix' was conceived and sadly like a Topsy grew. Contri and Distri have wrongly become the norm and vernacular pronunciation overcoming like a desert storm. English does indeed each day live and breathe ... BUT.. one thought with you I leave.. a double pre-fix cannot be .. ignorance is not bliss..you see? NOTE CON & DIS are prefixes to, for example English words like TRIBUTE.'Contri and Distri' are not prefixes to any known English word, they are a 'modern' 'madhatter syllabic nonsense' straight our of Alice in Wonderland.
