Pickles by Brian Crane for January 15, 2019

Just look at your word balloons – Brian got it right. ;)

Some how this seems rather familiar.

“manoeuvre” :) https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/manoeuvre

That’s the most romantic he’s been in ages, the silver-tongued flatterer!

If you want the definition with the American spelling (see above conversation), https://www.dictionary.com/browse/maneuver

I’m old enough to remember when this cartoon would have made no sense whatsoever.

I think it’s spelled emm ay en you are ee.

That’s so sweet, Earl. I can just feel the love!

I bet Earl has never touched a computer.

6 – 8 – 1- 2 … maneuver !

manure with a V?

I think that’s sweet, Opal. And in my had I pronounce it man-E-uver to ensure I spell it correctly. Used that word a lot in the Navy.

How can he Google it if he doesn’t know how to spell it?

That’s the nicest thing one of them has ever said about the other.

When I was a kid, if I couldn’t spell a word, my Father would always say: “Look it up in the dictionary.” To which I would always gripe: “How can I look it up when I don’t know how to spell it?”

Thank the internet gods for Grammarly and spellcheck ! (Grammarly hates it when I add a space before a ! or a ? when I write but old habits die hard, and it has to do with being able to read the font.)

very very cool ‘comeback’ Earl -————papa what is ___________? papa why does __________________? papa do you know if______________________?, once it was daddy _______________?, now it is papa __________________? (enjoying it now, cause soon my role as ‘google’ will be over) not sad but proud they learn how to discover for themselves and share their knowledge

Has Eddie izzard used to say I won because I have a maneuver

The American spelling looks very odd and wrong to my Canadian eyes. But then, so do a lot of American spellings – waggon, color, honor, etc. etc. When did you guys decide to start spelling badly?

I prefer to Bing. He prefers to Opal.

I’m “Google” for way too many people…

When you get older spelling gets harder to remember! And I am not the only one!

This is why I have a dictionary.

I use my wife for “Facebook.”

I’m Google for several people. Surprisingly, one of them is a computer graphic artist & hacker. She’ll spend an hour or more trying to find something, then she’ll ask me & I’ll find it in less than a minute. For some reason she never can figure out the right words to use in searches.

This is the story of my life.

Yeah I am the speller in my house too…LOL It’s a women thing.

Yup, You are my huckleberry!
