What is 'figuratively speaking'?

What is the correct spelling: speaking of "witch" or speaking of "which"? In what dictionary can I find it?

  • It is used when somebody says something and then you continue the idea. exemple: George has lost his job. Speaking of witch|which, Jane lost her job, too.

  • Answer:

    What you are speaking of is called a HOMONYM - words that are pronounced the same, but carry different meanings. To the best of my knowledge there is no dictionary dedicated to this task, BUT there are lots of word lists out there. Just plug homonym into your search engine and see what happens. I found the site referenced below on Google. Good luck and happy word hunting.

A witch is a person. You need to use which in your example. Any dictionary will have that information.

It's 'speaking of which'. A witch is a female wizard, who flies around on a broomstick. If you're confused by which one to use, you can always look in your dictionary and find the definition of each of the words. That will tell you which one you should be using.

Witch = a female sorcerer or magician Which = which (USED TO REFER) Pronoun. Used to show what particular thing (not usually people) is being referred to. [Example: It was a subject which he had never thought much about.] You guess.

They are both words and are spelled correctly. The one for your example is "which." A way to remember - Which [identify her, please] witch [occult/wiccan woman] were you speaking to?
