As i was reviewing a paper that my mentee wrote, I noticed a spelling error. Well, I thought it was a spelling error. I asked Sloan if she used spell checker. She said she did. So, that got me thinking, is Word screwing up again. I put the word into Word and well, the word was actually a real word. Now, my curiosity was peaked. What does this word mean? I know, you want to know the word.
Wether. Sloan typed wether instead of whether. Now, the vocabulary word is not suitable for young children.
Wether:
Pronunciation: 'we-[th]&r
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English, ram, from Old English; akin to Old High German widar ram, Latin vitulus calf, vetus old, Greek etos year
: a male sheep castrated before sexual maturity; also : a castrated male goat
This is a new insult word to add to your bag of tricks.

Everytime someone say's the secret word scream real loud!!
Remember in the Bugs Bunny cartoons when Bugs used to call Elmer Fudd a nimrod? I used to think it was an insult as well, but I was completely wrong. I learned in college choir, yes you can laugh now, that Nimrod was a hunter in the Bible. So I had to laugh at that whole thing. So I often call some people a nimrod and its ok.
