RE: "and the little introductions at the top of each story that nobody reads."

I read them. I always read them. And appreciate them. And the forward, and the afterward, and all the inbetweenwards . . .

One of life's unanswered questions #eleventy two: Why does "forward," when it refers to an introductory piece at the beginning of a piece of writing, NOT have the "e" that my brain insists on putting there --"ForEward" -- because it comes beforE the main stuff, it is at the "forE" of the work (as opposed to the "AFTerword" . . .), and because it is "forEmost" in the piece. ????
