Does anyone have ideas about how to make breath-rite strips myself?


Note that it's "breathe-rite".

Darn. No wonder I haven't been able to make one.




Since that error is so common, I've wondered if it was really correct.
I've looked in a lot of dictionaries and never found one where
"breath" spells breathe. What is your source for that information?

I'm agreeing with him that I spelled it wrong. That's why I wasn't
able to make one, get it?

In fact, I knew it was wrong when I posted, but didn't take the
trouble to go to both locations in the post to correct "breath". That
was partly because I wasn't sure about "rite" either, so why go to so
much effort to get one word right when the other might still be wrong.
