If you don ’t know how to spell the word, how do you look it up?

Been There … Done That ;-)

Isn’t this the truth. I look up words because I can’t get the spelling close enough at times for spell check to work. Nether Siri or Alexa live here.

I could swear I saw a comment here about using Merriam-Webster’s excellent online dictionary, and I wanted to thank that person. But now I can’t find the comment! Thanks to whoever posted that!

Ah, I loved reading my dictionary.
