I’m a professional writer/editor, so I catch things like this. I’m not trying to be snarky, I’m just pointing out that “fruitation” isn’t a word. “Fruition” is. My high school English teacher would be so proud.
Seriously, I’m excited ENMU finally has a stadium back on campus, and that the Rams and Hounds no longer have road games every time they play at “home.” I wish they’d had that when I was there, but better late than never. My parents, brother and I plan to finally see the place at ENMU’s final game of the season.
Thank you! Corrected and appreciated.
