the word 'whether', like 'whether or not', that's not the same, right?"
I said, yes, they're completely different words, and spelled 'whether'
for him, and he left happy.
Sometimes just knowing how to spell stuff can be useful. ;-) (made _me_
feel pretty good, anyway! :-) )
Maybe he was writing a memo to human resources: "'I don't know weather
we should keep Rich on the payroll any longer.' No, that's not right.
Its 'whether'."
