Apropos of nothing, did you know that the word 'apropos' in a mid-17th Century coinage deriving from the French à propos, which means ‘(with regard) to (this) purpose’?
You did? Oh.
Anyhow, apropos of nothing, did you spot that Andrew Marr fell into the old mistake of calling the Ku Klux Klan "the Klu Klux Klan" this morning? Andrew Neil did exactly the same on this week's This Week. As did Katty Kay on Monday's Beyond 100 Days.
Bonus fact: Katty Kay, despite her initials, is not connected to the KKK.
