Okay, just learned something new.
I'm doing some editng, and thought my writer had mistyped the subject's name. The writer wrote, "...stevedores and cargo men began unloading ships."
About the third instance of this caused me to look it up.
I'm surprised to learn that stevedores is not a misprint of Steve Dores. Stevedores are people employed for the purpose of unloading and loading cargo ships.
But you probably already knew that.
Now I do too.
