Perusing the Programme for Government, I nearly spat out my tea when I read about “hectacres”.
Hectacre is an inadvertent hybrid of hectare and acre.
A makey-uppy word, if you will, sometimes heard in the Dáil and in parish halls.
Now it’s in the Programme for Government, written by the people who want to run the country.
My initial shock soon gave way to wondering – could this be a cute way to confuse the lads over in Brussels?
If we talk in acres, they talk in hectares and the deal is done in hectacres... will I get a bigger cheque in the post?
