Oops, you are right Joe , even authors get that one wrong.
Search in Google and you'll find about the same number of hits for 'baited breath' as 'bated breath'. In one of the best selling books of all time, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (whose publisher could surely have afforded the services of a proof-reader), we have:"The whole common room listened with baited breath." |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: I am waiting with baited breath Better make that bated. |
