Careful now.

Lots of words have unified origins. They diverge to allow 2 different concepts to be named. Calling someone a cleric still means something different to calling them a clerk.

However, a clerical error could be ambiguous. Likely as the term was less common, and so didn’t have enough usage to warrant divergence.

Wow, well done to that antique shop owner. That’s awesome. Nothing illegal. No big protest. Just hold them to account and don’t help them.
