Talk:breakman

Used by Mark Twain: "The biggest thing is the world is to invent a steam railroad break that the engineer can apply throughout his train without needing breakmen." Note the spelling of "break" for "brake" there too. Just Twain's error, or a legit archaic form? Equinox ◑ 15:10, 22 August 2020 (UTC)

It was totally an error. Even the best writers occassionally slip up. --Emit888 (talk) 17:23, 22 August 2020 (UTC)
