I have a dilemna here...
I just saw an ad on TV for a movie called "The Dilemma".
I thought, what the heck, why did they spell it wrong?
I then looked up the proper spelling of the word. I found that it is supposed to spelled with a double "m".
I also ran across numerous conversations on the topic where people have commented on the same thing,
that they were always taught to spell it with an "n", but have recently found that there is no etymological
background to support the idea that it should be, or ever has been, spelled with an "n".
I have never, ever seen it spelled with a double "m", which was why I immediately questioned the spelling
when I saw the movie advertisement.
Am I losing my my mind? How many of you spell it with an "n"?
