Fer!

Each month I'm going to update my banner at the top of my blog. Good fer me! So for those of you who enjoy those kind of "easter eggs", good fer you too!

Now, my real purpose for blogging. I typically write/post my blog via email. In my email, I have a very good spell check. It corrects me during those rare instances where I am wrong. Somehow, in my opening sentence (directly above) it failed to correct me when I typed the word "fer" intead of "for". I consulted the Merriam-Webster dictionary for the complete definition. Here's where that got me:

Main Entry:

-fer

Function:

noun combining form

Etymology:

French & Latin; French -fère, from Latin -fer bearing, one that bears, from ferre to carry — more at bear

: one that bears <aquifer>
