It's about the weekly mail, and I decided to post here in this underused forum for the obvious reason. One of the E-mails to Anu this week concerns "dilemma" vs "dilemna," an issue I'd never heard of before except when it was once brought up here and tsuwm set the world straight: http://wordsmith.org/board/showthreaded.pl?Cat=&Board=words&Number=587 A thought: Anu set his correspondent straight as tsuwm did the board members. Still, I'm thinking of sending the lady an E-mail and inviting her to participate here. If she and her 20 friends thought "dilemNa" was correct, then they need to be among us. Comments?

I've never even heard of "dilemna." Zackley my point. I hadn't either 'til someone brought it up here. And I can tell you where you've been.

The other(female) is cast (for)? I usually miss your puns, my dear AnnaS, since I never expect them.
