Hey Swing,
I don't want to get into a spelling bee, but "heal " looks okay.


Lol ... Yeah, but what disease(s) was he healed of? Sorry man, one was OK,
but two? .... just blame it on your spell checker.

I don't know the real entymology, but I think that it referred to a shoe
heel. A well heeled man did not have the heel wear of a poorer man.

I'm pretty sure you didn't mean "entomology" (insectually speaking) so
you must have misspelled "etymology", or word origin.

Don't you just hate it when you correct someone and get it wrong?

I didn't correct anyone's spelling. I just went along with the
misspelling with a joke and my suggestion about the meaning of
'well-heeled'.
But, yes, I made a mistake in my spelling of etymology. Thanks for
correcting me.
