Nope, the Greek root word is lemma, and every known translation is with a double 'm'. That's what's so strange about it.

Amazing. I never heard of it spelled that way. Of course, I attended a small, rural public school where they pronounced "wash" as "warsh" and I flunked high school English about 3 years running, so what do I know?

I figured since we were re-spelling words tonight, I'd throw my hat into the ring.

Warsh is the correct pronunciation, but Wash is the spelling. I always explained that it was an invisible R, kinda like the silent letters...lol

My dilemna is that I chose the wrong poll option. My spelling is a little above average and I learned it "mn". Guess we adapted though. I can work with it.
