I read a good biography of Doc Holiday and what an interesting man with a very interesting life. Nasty piece of work, but not that dissimilar to the role that Val Kilmer played in Tombstone.

When I was 12 years old at Grammar School I wrote an essay in which I included the word plummeting .

The English teacher who marked it struck it out in red ink and wrote in the side column “ No such word “.!!

Language, such a lucid environment. words move into and out of fashion over time.
Doesn't "plummet" mean something plummeting therefore the "ing" is redundant. Maybe.

I don’t think so .

It is the present participle of the verb to plummet and has its own definition In any decent dictionary .

If your theory were to be correct , the same would have to apply to many other words with a similar meaning such as plunging and falling and hundreds if not thousands of others ending in ‘ing ‘ such as calling or falling etc. etc .

The funeral of Martha Jane Cannary who sadly died August 1st, 1903. Led quite the life, alcoholic from an early age, petty criminal, sex worker, sharpshooter, you name it. One thing's for sure though, this real life Calamity Jane wasn't anywhere as pretty as Doris Day...
