Just how serious are you about the subject we share in common?
Thanks!

These spellings did not return any results
A. Inturnment
B. Inturment
********************
A new one to me a few years back was Inurn. I saw it appearing in our newspaper obits here in Kansas. When my little sister died in 2007 I included this word in her obituary and was told by the newspaper in Georgia that it was not a proper term. Huh? It was not worth the hassle during such a sad time that I just re-worded it.
Inurn –verb (used with object)
1. to put into an urn, esp. ashes after cremation.
2. to bury; inter.
