Analyzing and Interpreting Literature / Unit 6 AIL 0517 short lesson, about 20 seconds
The Two-Beat Line, and the Anchor's Spelling
Captions available
The idea
A line of two beats is dimeter. The glossary's headword reads iambic diameter, and the correct word appears nowhere in the file. Use dimeter, which is the standard term the exam will use, and know that this anchor prints it wrongly.
In practice
Dimeter, not diameter.
Where people slip
The anchor misprints this headword.
