Link for Merriam-Webster's

Subject: Link for Merriam-Webster's

Here's the link for Merriam-Webster's:

http://www.m-w.com/

The Online Dictionary is free for now.

Typing "wretching" would have taken you to the correct word, "retching." Unfortunately, with all dictionaries, you need to know the basic word to look up the spelling.

Good luck!

you usually don't think to find "medical" words in Webster's but found the following--
Main Entry: in to·to
Pronunciation: in-'tO-(")tO
Function: adverb
Etymology: Latin, on the whole
: TOTALLY, ENTIRELY

Subject: Webster's says pleural form is ...

apparatuses or apparatus.  Have never seen a doc that didn't try to make up his own form of word from time to time either though...so if your account states strictly verbatim without the ability to correct grammar even when you know it's incorrect then I would type what he says.

Subject: not OP but in Webster's Dictionary since 1980

In Webster's Dictionary since 1980 (as I know it and have one here), they have been putting non and re together with whatever comes after it....


nonexistent and reexcision for example.....


et cetera........


and so there should be no hyphen medically either but YOU ARE SO RIGHT, depends on who you work for #1, Client profile #2....and all QA personnel because some mark you correct and some mark you incorrect when you don't use a hyphen or use a hyphen in these cases.

This was written in August of 2005. If you do a control F, you'll see that Arimidex hasn't been studied much, nor found helpful then, in men. But I see someone else posted that in a google search they found Arimidex used in men so maybe it is now ...

I got mine here. It's the best price I found. I couldn't see spending $17 on one. This one is $9. Also, the shipping on it seemed pretty steep at the time, almost as much or more than the adapter, so I emailed and asked if it could be sent in a small mailing envelope via usps. They told me they could do that and just charged $2 for the shipping. Here's the link:
