[FourtySeven]

I’ve been following your debate with AF Vet back to this post, and I still can’t understand: what is meant by “preformed” in the sentence, “Did a favor for [the Grateful Dead] at the Altamont concert where they preformed.”

I read your post 5045 where you deny the word “preformed” is misspelled but I fail to see how that explains what the sentence above says.

Forgive my ignorance but does the phrase “[The Grateful Dead] preformed at Altamont” mean something other than what the usual definition of the word “preformed” would imply? Or does it mean that the Grateful Dead had not yet formed at the time of that concert?

Thanks,

Preformed
Pre formed

They prepared (formed) to play (pre).
And then decided not to.

I guess I could have said they were there, but did not play.

I should have realized preformed was too big of a word to use, as it was stated that it was not accurate by af_vet_1981 even though it fit quite well.

I started using smaller words so af_vet_1981 wouldn’t have problems understanding my posts.

LOL didn’t work too well!
