It doesn’t matter how well educated you are or how many books you’ve read. There are always words that you’ll have trouble spelling. For me, these are the words lavender (is it -er? -ar?) and hypocrisy. Does it end with -cracy like democracy or -crisy like Chrissy Teigen with no h and one s?
Good news and bad news, friends. I have used the word hypocrisy so many times in reference to Kentucky’s senior senator, Mitch McConnell, that I now longer hesitate to spell it. Thanks to his shenanigans, I have blurted, sung, spoken, and shouted the word. I’ll be frank. I am tired of the word, but even more tired of his hypocrisy itself.
