1. Get annoyed by someone using the 'wrong word' in English.
2. Look up the right word.
3. See that it derives from exactly the same root as the 'wrong' word.
4. See that British newspapers just made an artificial division between the words in like 1927... or some English person translated the exact same Low German word two slightly different ways in 1703 for no reason at all.
5. Give up seeing them as wrong and right words.
