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!

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.
