Sleep, for now!

What’s in a word?

Was trying to check the conditions for applying for an award from school, and wanted to use the word ‘disimburse’, as in ‘is the award automatically disimbursed?’ which was a nice way of asking ‘eh walau by-invitation only isiiiiit’.

Anyways Microsoft informed me there wasn’t such a word. Merriam Webster Online Dictionary told me the same thing too. But Google quietly informed me I wasn’t .

Or did we get the word totally wrong? Checked ‘disemburse’ too. Supposedly not a word.

Update: Oh, this blog’s spell check just told me the word is DISBURSED. OMGSONOOB. Microsoft gave ‘disembark’ and ‘disabuse’.

Update: Oh, I think lots of people in Singapore schools (cos of study awards) use disimbursed because they think its a natural flip of REIMBURSE. Poks.
