URGENT! Spelling help needed!!

Help! I'm in the middle of an audio transcript and can't find out how to spell - I'll do it phonetically - burocracy?

My spelling checker keeps giving me autocrat as an alternative and my 1976 dictionary is no help.

WigWamBam · 02/03/2005 14:32

Gwenick's right.

SenoraPostrophe · 02/03/2005 14:33

are there 2 acceptable ones? Gwenick's is more popular in google.

Gwenick · 02/03/2005 14:33

I find google really good for spelling (as I'm hopeless) I put in what I 'think' is right and do a search and invariably it comes up with "did you mean xyz"

Sponge · 02/03/2005 14:33

Gwenick is right.

Gwenick · 02/03/2005 14:35

senora - I think what happens is those are all the website with the wrong spelling on them - I've found some really classics while googling for stuff

WigWamBam · 02/03/2005 14:38

There's only one spelling of it in my dictionary, and it's Gwenick's.

SenoraPostrophe · 02/03/2005 14:38

usually, yes, but there are 5000 in the UK - seems high. Not that I'm bitter about being wrong or anything!

Gwenick · 02/03/2005 14:39

[smug emoticon] Wow I got something write - and was the first to find it - I'm usually wrong or come in last..........

Tinker · 02/03/2005 14:40

Dictionary.com is usually pretty good when you're stuck.

Sponge · 02/03/2005 14:41

Smugness slightly tarnished by spelling right wrongly .

Gwenick · 02/03/2005 14:42

[still smug look] I don't care

bonym · 02/03/2005 15:02

Hmm, Gwenick, do you mean "right"

PiccadillyCircus · 02/03/2005 15:03

A typing error I am sure .

bonym · 02/03/2005 15:03
