You mean forgo

[inthesuburbs]

Yes, forgo and forego are two different words with different meanings. It's in your stylebook.

Forgo means to do without. Joe Studly will forgo his senior year.

Forego means to go before. It is a foregone conclusion that Joe Studly will forgo his senior year but sportswriters will say he will "forego" it.

Wrong (via Washington Post):

They had a head coach who, through the headsets toward offensive coordinator Tony Elliott as Clemson neared the goal line and forewent a tying field goal, said, “Hey boys, if you want to be a champion, we’ve got to go win it.”"

Nope, they forwent a field goal.

It's a foregone conclusion that The Washington Post will **** up everything it touches this month and, when presented with two choices, will forgo the correct one.

Forgo **** yourself with your facts and truths and whatnot.

And Fargo is another thing entirely...

Yup. I was thinking about the Forgodome as soon as I saw the thread title.

And Fargo is another thing entirely...

Although there's probably a few WaPo staffers who have found themselves in a metaphorical wood chipper recently.

I'd be more inclined to say they forsook a field goal.

Considering the guy's knees, it's obvious why they decided to forgo the field goal.

Thinks the post got it right.

Fargo, North Dakota, was named after the founder of Wells Fargo, William Fargo.

According to Wikipedia, in the 1880s, it became known as "the divorce capital of the Midwest" because of its liberal divorce laws.
