I gave up after looking for a clear answer after a few minutes. They really buried the lead.
The history of the phrase bury the lede is fascinating. Especially the part where they started spelling it wrong on purpose.
Interesting! Thanks for sharing!
on average in the u.s. a 65 year old man will live to 84 and a 65 year old woman will live to 87
the likelihood of making it to at least 90 are 30% for men and 40% for women
the likelihood of not living beyond 70 is 5-10% for men and <5% for women
there now we're all longevity literate
Thank you!
Thought it was lead for the longest time too
According to the article linked by @JWBananas, lead is correct. Printers changed it to lede in order to avoid confusion with another tool called a lead in the printing context.
