Last week on That's What They Say , we talked about a peeve over "exasperate" getting used in place of "exacerbate." This week, we looked at two more words that often get entangled, "trammel" and "trample." Professor Anne Curzan ran across "trammel" while researching last week's show. While we're very familiar with things like "untrammeled access" or "untrammeled nature," "trammel" on its own raised a flag.
