Is this how you spell it - aught, really?
Didn't know that :shock:
I'm not sure. I guessed and my spell check didn't freak out so I went with it.
I'm willing to learn the correct spelling though... If my guess was wrong. My spelling is pretty bad.
First of all, big hugs. Spell Check has betrayed us all at one time or another. Autocorrect makes life even harder! So when I see a mistake I assume it was one of those before I get all uppity about someone's skills.
You probably meant "ought" as in what is owed or expected.
But you're in good company, according to the
Online Etymology Dictionary, the greats
Milton, Pope and even *Shakespeare* used the words "ought" and "aught" interchangeably.
So you just keep doing your thing. Centuries from now, people will be studying your posts in universities around the galaxy, and performing them before packed houses while the rest of us are long-forgotten.
