This is why I keep a dictionary at arms length. LOL And the computer is always helpful if you can find the right dictionary online.
I always second guess myself and should leave well enough alone.
Yay, I got 'em right. But that's because none of them are spelt differently in Canada. When it comes to words that are spelt a certain way in America and Britain and Canada, I'll confess, sometimes I get confused.
IE
Jewellry
Jewelry
Jeweler
Hi Susanne .. two I hate to say! Dumbbell and Prerogative .. not words I use .. - wasn't sure if prerogative had an R at the beginning or not .. and those double letter words in the middle like granddaughter .. always stop me! Cheers - good exercise .. Hilary
So I honestly thought I knew how to spell all those words, but then the options you gave made me start second-guessing myself!
