As Wikipedia tells us: The word history comes from the Ancient Greek ἱστορία[16] (historía), meaning “inquiry”, “knowledge from inquiry”, or “judge”.

minus-squareadrianmalacoda@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up5·3 years agoSomeone search-and-replaced “he” and “his” with “they” and “their” without the “match whole word only” option (a feature on most text editors). This resulted in words that contain either substring being changed to nonsensical words.
