My mother was a walking dictionary. She knew how to spell everything. If any of us kids asked her how to spell something, her response was ALWAYS the same, “Look it up in the dictionary.” Well, if I knew how to spell it, I wouldn’t need to look it up in the dictionary!
“Hey, mom, how do you spell foneeshun?”
“Look it up in the dictionary.”
Like how would I find Phoenician? Or fuhzishun? Who knew!
Now a mom tells her kid, “Google it.”
