There it is, right on the AOL welcome screen tonight. On a promo for the finale of HBO's Six Feet Under: "In Memorium." Dumbth strikes again!

memories
memorise
memorize
motorium
memory
Monomorium
megrim
Germarium
Memoriter
memories'
memoriser
memorizer
memory's
Merriam-Webster Online provided this list:
1. memoriam
2. memories
3. Memorial
4. memory
5. mummeries
6. mummery
7. memorially
8. memorial
9. memorize
10. memorise
At least #1 is the correct spelling.
Why, oh why, don't these people consult a dictionary (or at least a spell-checker)?
People don't use a spell checker or a dictionary because the key word is "use." If the dictionary would "automatically" correct all misspellings then they would gain in popularity. Until that day, don't count on anyone to "use" something that they don't have to. ...even if they should.
