You are right RWTF...not mis-used by mis-spelled. Guess I'll just be moseying along. (Lots of good words no longer much in use).

ORIGIN OF WHEEDLE
First recorded in 165565; origin uncertain

I DIDNT MISS-SPELL ANYTHING! Further, I didnt miss it. You quoted a fictional character from a 1980s TV show, as if that somehow determines correct usage of the English language.


Is it possible you may have missed a dose of Thorazine or Lithium today?

Just another curried pheasant. Lots of golden oyster mushrooms from my timber and maybe a few too many peas, but what the heck. Tasty enough for me.

Tonight was grilled quail with a mustard based BBQ sauce. Simply wonderful and even better because some were shot by my wife, who enjoys shooting quail even more than clays.

No, The movie "Silence of the Lambs" not a TV show, Theodore- Anthony Hopkins at his best- and used that ancient English phraseology quite well- "One more wheedle"-- you make the common mistake of incorrectly viewing my motive--

Just as a boxer shadow boxes, or as Gene Hill wrote about his friend Kay Oyhe (AA trapshooter) practicing gun mounts and swings in his basement-- I train my eyes for the precision of squirrel and varmint hunting by being as observant of all things I encounter every day-- if a word is miss-spelled, I notice it-- Like in the John Madis book on the M12- where the actress Ann Sothern is miss-spelled as Southern.

No offense meant to you, you MN based gent. After all, I have always been a fan of: Bob Dylan (Zimmerman), Garrison Keilor (sic), and the great cult movie "Fargo"-- Ja, real gut dere Ted.

Yes, I did grill them for her. I'm an OK cook but we're lucky that she's a great cook and does most of the cooking.

If you note a mistake, please be coherent enough to attribute it correctly, thank you.

Again, I didnt do it.

Ted

Fox corrects every single spelling error he sees whether its a typo or a spellcheck error or someone who just does not know spelling. Thats his signature DoubleGun mark, for whatever that is worth (not much). He corrected my typo recently on proctology. Im not sure if it was a typo or spell check, but he felt it was his duty to correct me.....but I do know how to spell that word. Whatever, I guess he must have been an English teacher at some point?? Is what it is, but its nothing to take great offense over, Im sure of that.

This appears to be a kerfuffle about the word wheedle.
