It seems that by default all of us living with RA are forced to improve our spelling, no? :-)

It makes sense to me and looks just the way it sounds. That and methotrexate are my best buds.

Here’s a question though. If the word has an umlaut in it, are you supposed to spell it with the vowel plus the e or just the vowel? Hmmmmm……I don’t remember there being an example of that in the Bee.

You really are a super hero. Thanks proves it. (Also, how super cool that you have one! Thanks to the internet, getting gigantic dictionaries has gone out of style for graduation gifts, so I am without a giant book of spelling knowledge. Guess I’ll just have to work harder to win that Bee!)
