Language update for 2019
Professor Polistra has pretty much abandoned her Language Update duties, but returns briefly for one especially egregious and widespread error.
Honeypot for honeytrap.
Example 1:
Mike Flynn's Alleged Honeypot Slams Russiagate 'Spy' Stefan Halper And Journos Who Covered For Him
Example 2:
Whatever the truths of the matter, it certainly looks like the intelligence community was all over the Trump campaign like flies on shit, and if the Papadopoulos interview and book are correct, not merely doing “counter-intelligence,” but setting up honeypots, coat-trailing, installing moles, etc.
= = = = =
Prof P wishes to clarify the difference graphically.
This is a honeypot.
This is a honeytrap.
