By the way, yes I know psychological ends in -cal, but following what I believe to be the most common spelling rule, someone would be looking for -cle.

The spelling theory never made any sense to me. If you don't know how to spell a word, how can you look it up? Especially words that start with silent letters.

Sure, someone will say "Well you look it up phonetically, sound out the word and look based on your best guess of the spelling in order to find the exact spelling, using spelling rules you're familiar with".

Ok let's see. "Cycleogicle"... nope, not in there.

"Sikologicle"... nope

"Sicologicle"... still nothing.

get my point?

Now, if there were a book that listed words phonetically, in various possibilities, then listed the correct spelling, that would make more sense.

Would that still be a dictionary then, or would it be given a new name?

The reason there is brail on the ATM buttons in the drive through ATM's is because it is more cost effective to make only one set of buttons over and over as apposed to two different types.

If it really bothers you that much...

You know, 'dictionary' has more than one meaning. It can also mean a list of codes and such for computer programming.

And also, a dictionary also has word pronunciations. What if someone didn't know how to pronounce dictionary, and wanted to look it up?

why do we drive on a parkway and park on a driveway?

the reason why there's the cautions on the coffee and M&M peanuts is becuase of lawsuits filed against certain companies

It's there for Scrabble. If someone played the word "dictionary" in scrabble and the other person challenged them on it and it wasn't in the dictionary, then the player would lose his turn and not get the points.

I agree with the comment about it being comprehensive.

2008-06-02T08:03:00.000-07:00

Well, i'd assume ATM's were invented in either Japan or Europe.
As we know ppl in Japan and UK drive on the other side of the road.) It would only make sense that in those countries the passenger would have access to drive through ATMs and not the driver. It is only known for them to drive on the other side of the ST, not to have ATM machines or Drive throughs opposite of hours.

(That would make sense, if you read it how it was written) :O

2008-06-02T05:44:00.000-07:00

dyamolos...

that's one's easy. If you look at the ATM, there's usually a earphone jack. The blind plug in earphones & listen to the instructions, and use braille to tell the keys apart.

it's the braille on the ones at DRIVE-THRU atms I don't get.

To be honest the purpose of a dictionary isn't just there to explain the meaning of a word, but to help people to spell the world correctly, so that could be the reason it is in there. Hope that placates the gnawing of a brain tumour.

2008-05-30T23:53:00.000-07:00

2008-05-30T23:12:00.000-07:00

Yes that is one of those momments isn't it? Kind of like when I asked "What if the bible's just someones idea of a novel?"

...Anyway, that thought has the possibility of being a rather nice joke if, when you looked it up, it said "You're holding one, retard."

[GM]Dave>> You wouldn't know what 'Dictionary' meant.

Priceless.

You can tell you're becoming a great writer, Dave, when you can make us laugh even without FFXI-related material.

2008-05-30T17:36:00.000-07:00

For the same reason most fast food restaurants in America have warnings on their coffee saying "Caution: Contents are hot." And the same reason M&Ms with peanuts say "Caution: Contains peanuts."
