restoral ?? Is that even a word? Wouldn't it be restoration ?

I didn't think it was an actual word, but I looked it up, and it is. Means restoration. So I learned a new word today.

However, I do cringe at the way that some supposedly educated individuals, absolutely murder the English language. I can see an occasional slip up - I'm guilty of it too - but for some - it's always - not just once in a while. How some ever passed basic English in school, is beyond me!

"Restoral" was first used in popular English literature: sometime before 1828. (references)


Note: Restoral \Re*stor"al\ (-al), noun. Restoration. [Obsolete].

Note they now say that Restoration is obsolete

Restoral--hmmm---I just learned a new word myself. I think this is the first time I've ever heard this. Interesting, I always like to learn new stuff.

I have to agree that I do sometimes notice how terrible the spelling and grammar is on some posts. Typos I understand but whole words wrongly written I can't understand. We never would have gotten anywhere near high school let alone college had we not known our spelling or grammar.
