 Plack - How do you spell it? 
|
You are really wanting the delete button back now aren't you? 
|
Nope, I want an answer to my question: If I wanted to spell pneumonia and I thought it was namonia how could find it? 
|
I thought perhaps that a thesaurus MIGHT be helpful, but I'm not sure what would be another term for penumonia (or even plaque) might be. |
Obviously not everyone is saying that. If you aren't the lead dog, the view never changes. 
|
ok SOME people are saying that. |
Good, now I don;thave to use the "if everyone jumped off a bridge..." reasoning. |
I have the 150 book hardback version |
|
dictionary.reference.com/ they got a spellchecker at the top. i suck at spellchecking too, so i downloaded a spellchecker for firefox. |
