'I get oversighted by people who haven't got a bloody clue.'//oversight - the act of overlooking something.



I am the only one who disagrees with the defination of oversight? the commissioner could have been clearer and said i get over seen by.... but it seems clear to me he was refering to oversight committies, who have the job to oversee police action, and not to over look it!

M-W 10th puts oversight in the same catagory as peruse-- one meaning to pay close attention to-- (oversight committee meaning) and another meaning--forgotten, overlooked (i meant to spell check the document before i printed it, it was an oversight that it went out with a typo!)

i would read the word as it made the most sense-- the NYTimes cross word puzzle editor uses the peruse as a clue often-- sometimes it is used to mean glance, sometimes study!
