Re: A sad denouement to a fantastic spelling debate.
[quote name="laudablepuss"][quote name="Fussbett"]The first definition is "pus", not "puss", which supports my claim. It seems that Dictionary.com helpfully (?!) assumed that you'd like to see a very similarly spelled word to your inputted "puss", and confusingly stuck it on the same results page.[/quote] I'm pretty sure that's because it's an alternate spelling. I'll look in my super-dee-duper dictionary at home to be sure. Note that typing in 'pus' gets you to an entirely differnet definition page with only the main definition crossing over. [quote]The sad part is that what I meant as a throw away line has snowballed into a spelling war. "Hilter!"... As such, with my next spelling error I'm sure to reap the whirlwind. Karma, etc.[/quote] I'm not jackass like INC.[/quote]
