Although if you must use it, I'm going to have to insist that you cite it with APA 5th or 6th edition, because a hyperlink is simply unacceptable.

[/quote] I obviously know the differences between spelling the word Athiest and 'Aethiest'. Did you neglect to see how I spelled it under (Religion: Athiest)?

Winchester Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 The "definition" is actually an exchange, not a definition. It's infantile. Wombats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winchester Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 (edited) Somebody's word of the day calendar came up with "Avert". It's a way of peeling potatoes. Edited December 15, 2009 by Winchester Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamiller42 Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 (edited) Stop getting on the atheist for a misspelling. He obviously does not regard higher authorities including, but not limited, to Merriam-Webster. Dictionaries are so... restrictive.
