Puzzle. I do not know the answer.
You can also consider this as a desperate attempt to outsource my query after all search engines failed me.
Okay – for all you English gurus… You know how at the turn of the new year, we often write the wrong year for a few days (the previous year) (e.g. on checks)? There is an actual English word for that. For the life of me I cannot remember it.
What is it?
Status quo bias.
Don’t know rhe ACTUAL word, but the SNIGLET for that is “checkuary”
Its called hangover
advanced age?? 😉
Check out the Facebook group called “I Write the Wrong Date on My Papers Every New Year”
Narayan any help?
It may habituated, accustomed, pratised etc.

How about: prolepsis or metachronism? http://thesaurus.com/browse/misdate
hmmmm….. I seem to remember that the word was specifically for putting the previous year during the early part of the year…
Memory loss
Urban Dictionary calls it “New Years Block”
i wish i knew. i’ve reached out to higher power. will let you know when i hear from the mountaintops.
meanwhile, here’s something that is crying out for a word: words/phrases/ideas that are impossible to google because the words you’d use to search for them are so widely used that what you’re looking for is lost in the shuffle.
