34 WRITE IT EIGHT Honeymoon. Moon here means month, so it is incorrect to say, " a week's honey- moon," or, " Their honeymoon lasted a year." Horseflesh for Horses. A singularly senseless and disagreeable word which, ■when used, as it commonly is, with refer- ence to hippophilism, savors rather more of the spit than of the spirit.
Humans as a Noun. We have no single word having the general yet limited mean- ing that this is sometimes used to express — a meaning corresponding to that of the word
... animals, as the word men would if it included women and children. But there is time enough to use two words.
Hung for Hanged. A bell, or a cur- tain, is hung, but a man is hanged. Hung is the junior form of the participle, and is now used for everything but man. Per- haps it is our reverence for the custom of hanging men that sacredly preserves the elder form — as some, even, of the most zealous American spelling reformers still respect the u in Saviour.
Hurry for Haste and Hasten. To hurry is to hasten in a more or less dis- orderly manner.
