Another which has struck me a few times of late is the misuse of “rankle”. A thing rankles, for instance injustice rankles with the person who has been unjustly treated. The person it rankles with, however, does not rankle. They may bristle or feel ill-done-by or any one of a number of other things, but they do not rankle. Well, their existence might rankle, with somebody else…
The word means “to cause bitterness or irritation”, so a person does not do it about something or somebody. Jane does not rankle at the mention of Sarah.
