I've never heard that word - do you mean BRAZENLY ?

[Tilly2]

Don't know. I only know what brazenly means.

[Peter Pedant]

my money is on a literal for brazenly

[scorpiojo]

Upside down n?

[Booldawg]

Post the whole sentence it is used it. That might help?

[Tilly2]

Thanks all, and I quote "The pleasure came from listening to the radio or grandad (who had brazeuly christened me 'Fart' at a very tender age) playing on his banjo ............

[mrs_overall]

It must be a misprint of 'brazenly'

[Tilly2]

It must be a typo.

[jessica]

Thanks again, I can't really go with a typo as it is virtually on the first page!!

[Peter Pedant]

why not ?
the Grauniad used to have typos - lots of them on their front page.

[DaisyNonna]

Nothing to do with me!

[grasscarp]

The book was type set on a John bull printing outfit and the rubber n was put in upside down - u .

[jno]

probably a typo; publishers are amaziugly careless these days.

[boxtops]

No reason why a typo can't be on the first page....

[boxtops]

Looks like bad proofreading :-)
