It's a hard habit to break though....telling them to go look it up.
If a spouse or business coleague asked us we would just tell them.
We wouldn't disrespect them by telling them to look it up. I'm trying
very hard to get into the habit of telling them how it's spelt or
explaining I don't know but we can look it up and check.
