An honest debate

Not sure I would leave my spelling QA/QC to this website's spellcheck, when you have an institution recognized for issuing dictionaries to academic institutions, including your own brother's academic institution; and that says otherwise! But hey; we know what a moron he proved himself to be; right?


Funny thing, I wouldn't leave your spelling QA/QC to this website's spellcheck either.

I don't. In fact, when you place your cursor over the "ABC" drop down link, it identifies it as "Toggle Spellchecker".

 

he he he he...I actually like this institution's website dictionary: http://oxforddictionaries.com/definition/spellcheck

Well, let's see.  Websters, ask.com, cambridgeonline, etc., all list "numbskull" as the spelling.  I suppose we could instead go with the TP version.  Or if I may, here are some other choices that describe our boy TP and are easily spelled, according to Websters.

 

blockhead   bonehead   dunderhead   knucklehead     mutton head     lunkhead   dolt   dullard    fathead  imbecile   chucklehead   lamebrain   meat head     nitwit     pinhead  

 

There are more, but these are easy to spell,  accurately descriptive, and can serve double duty when applied to Mal.  One of those win-win situations. 

 

Enjoy!

I don't know why this is but when I respond to this and use ABC to spell check, it says "numbskull" should be "numskull".

Also it says all your derogatory terms except "chucklehead", "mutton" and "meat" are spelled wrong.   The last two were made as two words which may be why they passed as correct.

Oddly, when I use my word processor program the only one mispelled is "chucklehead".  Numbskull and numskull are both accepted.

Is that just my computer?

Dictionary.com list numbskull - one word. So there ya go numbskull.


Spell check says otherwise...

 

I have seen msaml use words that she said that spell check approved and are not correct.

 

The list please.

 

No list?   Are you just making this up?
