  • Why not just “former”? David used this seemingly apt word to describe the problem, then Martha used it again to do the same, and it made me wonder (twice). And now I see it used here in the segment description, not just once, but twice, which doubly makes me double-wonder. Am I missing something about “former” as being an appropriate substitute for “ex”?
