It's a common mistake, but if www.internment.net is about burials, they have used the wrong word. I just checked the Web site, and they have it right. It's www.interment.net. It's some of our listers who have it wrong. intern is a verb, and means "to restrict to or confine within prescribed limits, as prisoners of war, enemy aliens, or combat troops who take refuge in a neutral country." internment is a noun and is "the act or an instance of interning, or the state of being interned; confinement." inter is a verb, and means "to deposit a dead body in a grave or tomb; bury." interment is a noun that means "the act or a ceremony of interring; burial." (Webster's Encyclopedic Unabridged Dictionary) The two words are not interchangeable and do not mean the same thing. Even funeral parlor employees make the same mistake when they send obituaries to our local newspaper. I hope those of us involved in genealogy will be alert to this and make the effort to be helpful to those who use these words incorrectly and point them toward correct usage. Carole O. Cole
