Where did some of you go to school?

Most of my schooling was Missouri.

I have never. Ever. Not once. Ever seen it spelled with an N.

Until now.

When I was in grade school in the 60's and 70's, I anticipated the development and widespread adoption of spell check, so I never bothered to learn either one.

You've never seen that because dilemna is not a word.

This thread is very amusing to me.

I don't have a specific memory of being taught "dilemna", but I remember seeing it as "dilemma" at some point in adulthood and thinking "oh, that's wrong", and then later getting nabbed on a spell check and thinking "err, what?" I checked into it and saw "dilemma" everywhere and thought to myself "gee, weird, I really thought it was dilemna, but I guess not, hunh".

And there the matter has stood until this thread. Now I guess I need to put myself into the group of "yeah, I **SWEAR** I was taught 'dilemna'"

Another thread on this same topic here:

http://forum.thefreedictionary.com/p...g-dilemna.aspx, and one post has this:

As far as I know, no one has ever been able to track the problem down to a misprint in a textbook, and there seems to be no dictionary anywhere any time that has listed dilemna.
