Wether or Nut I Catch A Typo

I often find out too late that I've allowed a typo or two to slip through on a post. Thanks to the diligence of some of my good friends I'm typically advised of the issue within a few days or so. I also have spell checking turned on and scan for them, but a typo's only flagged if it's not correctly spelling something else. Such as "Of" or "Off". "Walt" or "Wait". Or as in the case of the prior post, "Whether" or "Wether". But since my typo of "Wether" didn't set off the spell checker, I used the built in dictionary to find out just what the hell "Wether" means.







All the separates the definition of a choice and a castrated ram is the letter "H". Perhaps something to keep in mind if you're ever offered a job as a weather man by a shepherd.
