Who comes up with this stuff?

These are weird words that I had never typed: nonetheless, nevertheless, notwithstanding

I would have thought these would have each been three separate words.

I wonder if there are other weird multi-words out there?

ouch. jason, your words hurt. especially when they are inappropriately spaced.

Of coarse (course) Jason was kidding. I mean, what kind of pastor/apostle would say "screw you" to one of his congregants?

BTW, I thought I had found another multi-word, but it turns out that it is just a normal three word phrase, bear in mind.

hmmm... "bear in mind". also sounds very painful.

Found one: whatnot

That also lead me to this word: bric-a-brac

It doesn't really fit my definition of a multi-word because it has the hyphens, but it was a word I had never heard of.

I wouldn't say that I am "looking them up". It is more like I am typing things and I hit a word that may be a multi-word and I check to see what the proper spelling/spacing is.

Soh, yohu mighht whant hto mindh youhr ohwn businhess.

The silent eitch is always good for a cheap laugh. Then, there is the slightly less funny silent word.

yeah, you're right. maybe i'm just jealous that SAS has thier own dhoctors on site and all we have (at a health insurance compay) is a certified nurse. but i'm not bitther.
those kinds of perks probably include time to look up ambiguous info in the internehts.

oh, and the silent "eitch" = funny.

A bric-a-brac sounds a lot like a knick-knack, or is it knickknack, or nick-knack?
