The part people get wrong

Watch for the order of ie.

Same family: interviewer, interviewee, interviewed, interviewing, interview-style. If you can spell one, the shared part carries to the others.

Where it comes from: The word “interview” comes from French ‘entrevue,’ meaning a meeting, and originally from ‘entre’ (between) + ‘voir’ (to see). It literally began as a “seeing between two people,” and later came to mean the formal question-and-answer meeting we use in media and jobs today.
