There, co-authored is about 50% more common than co-wrote (474:327) in British sources, but nearly twice as common (682:350) in US sources. In Canadian sources, it's more than twice as common (213:89). | |
| Apr 11, 2017 at 16:07 | comment | added | FumbleFingers | Interestingly, that I co-wrote is as common as that I co-authored in the AmE corpus on Google NGrams, but the former doesn't occur often enough to even chart in the BrE corpus. Which reflects my preference as a Brit, but I can't say I particularly object to the alternative. | |
