Huh?? I've used "perusal" for years, so I looked it up to make sure I haven't been using it improperly. I haven't been. Here is the online definition:
_________
pe·rus·al/pəˈro͞ozəl/
Noun:
The action of reading or examining something.
Synonyms:
reading - study
_________
I peruse Altamont Press every few days, just as I peruse other websites. Why does that word have to be reserved for something used by journalism students? That makes no sense.
