Are you one of those people who will "add to dictionary" even though every single spell check keeps telling you it's not a word?

there is no way people were taught d-i-l-e-m-n-a. I refuse to believe this. Oddly enough, I just can't get rustled over this, as opposed to "simular" and "dominate" (when people mean "dominant"). Those two make me want to rage for some reason.

why would there be a silent "n" in a word?

Are you joking? I would tell you all of the silent "n" words but I have to go pressure wash my columns in preparation for autumn.

It's almost to the level of that guy who asked why people were putting "batchelor" tags on their cars.

I doubt anyone will mind if I continue using "dilemna". Was just curious how many people were taught that spelling.
