“April is the cruellest month, breeding lilacs out of the dead land, mixing memory and desire.” — T.S. Eliot
(I think that old Thomas Stearns Eliot could’ve benefited from some Prozac, or Zoloft! LOL! I think that “The Waste Land” was required reading in high school, but I got by – more or less – by just listening to the class discussion. I know I didn’t actually read it. My sub-vocal reading “skills” made me shun certain books. Not sure why *cruelest* was misspelled, but I do see the quote with both spellings. Be well and do good, friends. Enjoy the lilacs!) — YUR

Unc,
Out of curiousity, I did some checking.
No dictionary allowed “cruellest” to pass, but I found it odd that one allowed “crueller”.
I see that, lwc! Maybe *cruellest* was once acceptable, but now they’ve dropped an L for the superlative. — YUR
UR, my favorite UK online dictionary uses 2 L’s …

I think our good friends at WordPress should subscribe to Chambers.com, hal. They don’t dig the double-L! — YUR
