[I Are Baboon]

I was taught in grade school that the correct spelling is "dilemna." Spellcheck and Google both say it's "dilemma." Google research shows that I am not the only person in the world who was taught "dilemna."

So what say a bunch of poo flinging monkeys?

Of course I could just ask binary visions for the correct spelling...

Just use "predicament" instead.

You didn't answer the question I axed.

[CrabJoe StretchPants]

My solution completely eliminates your issue, thus giving you more worry-free time to drink beer.




See where I'm coming from?!?!?

m-w.com unabridged doesn't recognize dilemna.

Sounds like the Mass educational system is the problem...

Irregardless, this thread makes no sense

Ridemonkey super duper power search indicates the following members have used the "dilemna" spelling in the past. I am calling them out:

drkenan
manimal
bizutch
MMcG
westy
BAH
blue
ohio

 

[MMike]

Westy and ohio? really? The others make sense. But them?

I need to rethink my life now.

Disirregradless, you did not answer the question.

It's worth noting that neither Westy nor ohio have used "dilemma."

i think some of you misunderestimate the power of the internet search

"dilemma" looks like something that Pinkshirt would type. Although I pronounce it the 'Merican way, I can't help but to type 'aluminium'.

Well my first post in this thread does make reference to two Google searches....

I am in agreeance with you

 

[reflux]

You are supposably using the incorrect spelling of the "dilemma."



Disirregardlessly.

 

[binary visions]

I beleive that dilemma is the corect weigh of spellinng the word.

I also think that dilemna looks retardded.

Hey, I lived in downtown Hartford. The skools aren't much better there.

 

[Greyhound]

, I can't help but to type 'aluminium'.

...As long as you say it all English and proper "Al-u-min-eee-ummm"

 

[Wingnut]

According to 32.6% of the intarwebz, it's dilemna. The other 67.4% are/is correct.

Disirriagreedlessly...

 

[valve bouncer]

Even though I spell it dilemna out of habit I recognize the common sense approach the Americans have to spelling. I teach my kids American spelling cos it makes sense.

you know what they say. bigger the hoop the bigger the ho!

 

[stoney]

It was dilemna in ~1989, as I advanced in a spelling bee with that word. I remember, as I was on TV and was our team's anchor.

I have always been taught dilemna since I was a kid. Through GATE classes in elementary and Jr High, Honor's classes in HS, and at Berkeley.

I think this is a dumbing down of America.

 

[DaveW]

I want a dilemna too!

Only one?
I'd rather have two.

I'll take two but I'm not going to get greedy.
