This is not a troublesome matter for most writers, since neither word is likely to appear with great frequency except in strictly medical contexts; still, the occasional mistake may occur in general writing: • The mucus membrane ... could then proceed — Harper's, March 1971 • ... a sticky mucous that acts like flypaper to trap ants and termites —International Wildlife, January/ February 1983 |
