- I just checked Auckland University Library's on-line catalogue and found
- SEVEN entries with 'dilemna' in them, doing a keyword search. Six
- occurrences were in titles, the seventh in a blurb. One of the occurrences
- was flagged <sic> indicating that the cataloguer recognised the misspelling.
- Four of the books were published in London, one in New York, one in Reston,
- Virginia, and one in Auckland.
-
- This is horrifying! I had never seen this spelling until this thread
- brought it to my attention. Now I'll never be able to overlook it. It's
- like a doctor opening up a patient to remove an appendix and finding him
- riddled with cancer!!
