Spelling, as easy as A-B-C?

Why do these homophones have such widley diffeernt spellings?

Which and Witch.

I don't often see them confused.

But I got a message recently, which spelled peak like peek. That's a common mistake. One which the spell check will not detect.

There was this thing called a dictionary and it gives proper spelling as well as usage for the word. I whish more peple used them.

Definitions Galore

Would you like to become Galorious?


Is galorious a word? It is not in my pocket dictionary, nor in my collegiate dictionary, let me check the unabridged. The unabridged dictionary lists the word galore in adverb and noun form, but no adjective form. NOT YET, anyway.

Galore - adv. abundantly.

Galore - n. abundance. (archaic)



I would like to formally submit this new word for your approval!


Galorious - adj. abundant, plentiful.

Now I can acheive harmonious alliteration by calling myself, Galorious Gloria!

Inside Out and Upside Down

What is the opposite of Inside Out?

Inside in, or outside out?
Or is it rightside in or rightside out?

And what about upside down?

Downside down or upside up?

Would vertically aligned be the opposite, and vertically challenged a synonym for upside down?

And shouldn't they be hyphenated, anyway?!

I'm definitely Inside-out and Upside-down on this matter!
