            Opera: surveil

            http://grammarist.com/words/surveil/

            The verb surveil, originally a backformation of surveillance, was long considered nonstandard, and even now is still so new to the language (the earliest instances date from the early 1960s)1 that some dictionaries don’t include it, and your spell check might disapprove of it. But even though survey is closely related, etymologically, to surveillance, survey does not carry the sense to keep under surveillance (where surveillance means close observation, especially of one under suspicion).2 For this purpose surveil works better, so the word is a useful addition to the language.

            Surveil‘s participles are surveilling and surveilled. Again, your spell check might not like these words, but they’re fine.

                            The error was not just wanting me to capitalize either. It was not there.

                              I'm actually shocked that this thread is not over 100 posts yet. I looked to see if it was in the all time most popular threads thinking that it obviously would be there by now and... nope. Nowhere close. Posts from this week are, but not this classic thread.

                              Anyway, new one today...

                              FF: convolutes

                                And less surprising but still...

                                FF: HIPAA

                                No wonder people always spell it incorrectly, it isn't even in the normal dictionaries.
