You said that when you misspell a word, M-W takes you to the closest word. That's a lie. If you misspell a word, the M-W dictionary takes you to a page with potential alternatives for the word you were searching. Got it? When you search for "Arithmetics" it does not take you to a page with alternatives; it takes you straight to "Arithmetic".

Wrong. But trolls always try to deny what they said.  Fortunately,
history proves the opposite.

Yup, if you knew ANYTHING about the internet - which you obviously don't.

If you mispell a word, the M-W dictionary points you to a page with potential suggestions. A dictionary does not necessarily list all valid words: if you search for "persons", it points you to "person", because a dictionary does not normally list plurals.

You keep saying that, but have no proof that that is the case.  OTOH, I
have shown that is NOT the case.

ROFLMNAO.  So not Google is the standard for the English Language?  I
don't think so!  NOT ONE of those links refers to a resource accepted
by scholars.

So since you don't agree with it, it's irrelevant?  I guess that means
you are more of a standard for the English Language than any dictionary?

I don't think so.

Yea, right.  But idiots and trolls always think they are better than the
rest of the world.  Which are you?
