| 词组 | carat, karat, caret |
| 释义 | carat, karat, caret Carat is a unit of weight for precious stones; karat (also spelled carat sometimes) is a unit of fineness for gold; caret is a wedge-shaped mark used by copy editors and proofreaders to mark a place in text where something is to be inserted. It is really unlikely that you will confuse these, let alone fuddle them with Bugs Bunny's old favorite carrot, as Shaw 1975 worries. If in doubt, check a good dictionary. We do have an instance of carat wrongly spelled with two r's in a direct-mail advertisement for precious gems available "directly from those fabled mines in India"— an offer probably as dubious as the spelling. |
