You should start a music thread about songs with improper grammar. It's been a whole day since music thread Friday. Or maybe someone can post a sermon to help us understand. I feel lost.

The word used for a light snow, rain, or wind is “skift”, not “skiff”, according to Merriam-Webster online.Aug 24, 2009


But the OE claims it is skiff-wtf

“The origin is not clear, but some think it came from the Scottish verb "skiff," which means to lightly move across a surface barely touching it, as perhaps a "skiff" of snow barely covers the ground. ... The Oxford English Dictionary defines a skiff as "a slight gust of wind or shower of rain, etc.”

Skift isn't in the Scrabble Dictionary and that should settle that.
