Yes, but it's easy to miss a g.

Excellent, Amy - one of your best. But, why did you type "well" into Google, though, in the first place? Did you mean a well as in where you got water from? or the condition you are in at the moment? or perhaps merely a sort of "Well, well!" - i.e a token of surprise. ...... and what exactly was the "that" with which Google came up?

Really? I was always under the impression that women themselves were usually a little uncertain what they meant - so how are we - mere males - supposed to know the meaning of anything they say for certain. Surely gracious lips were meant to be kissed rather than believed.

I prefer your spelling, Amy - it is much more individualistic and characterful :)

Yes, but it's easy to miss a g.

This is a complaint usually levelled at men.

btw, I'm surprised JR didn't spot this one ....

Some 'experts' seem to thing that this elusive spot is just a myth.

Probably men. though.

I just LOVED Jimmy Carr's joke on his stand-up show on Channel 4 last night.
