Aye, there’s the rub. When you try to spell it like it sound. I’ve always said, how do you found it in the dictionary if you don’t know how it’s spelled.
BTW, I think Brutus told him to look it up because he doesn’t know how it’s spelled.
As a kid I never understood why adults would tell me to look a word up in the dictionary if I asked how to spell it. Was I supposed to read the whole darned book until I found the word I was looking for?

My spelling is so bad (dyslexia) at times even google can’t figure out what I’m trying to say.

With internet lookup as pervasive as it is, do people even HAVE dictionaries anymore? :/
