Rathering

"Rather." The first time I heard it, I liked it. It made for a smooth, almost pleasant transition.

"Though mankind is stricken with wondering" - said the reader, who then paused, and then continued - "RATHER with wonder ... at its own discoveries and its power, it often raises anxious questions about the current trend of the world..."

If you weren't paying close attention, you would not even have noticed that he had made a mistake in the reading.

Today's Gospel brought that to mind - Jesus didn't correct, he simply "rathered."
