I informed the MW people, but they said there was no record in their editorial log of changing the guide word; it had always been \"Fourierist.\"  So I'm not sure what happened; I checked the page of my printed copy very carefully, several times, before and after writing them, and there was definitely an extra E in it.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I confess to being inordinately proud of having found a typo in MW10: in the entry for Boudicca (a.k.a.
