I can answer my own question (computers are not my strong point)

I shall have great pleasure telling my friend he is wrong :D

You have the Oxford dictionary behind you! It will also tell you the spelling of 'adamant' :)

Sorry Martin, just couldn't resist it :)

I have the useful Dictionary add-on installed in my Firefox browser, which is a great help - it highlights mis-spelled words as I type messages, like this one.

Download from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... y/?src=api It can save a lot of embarrassment :oops:
