annualy?	Manabu	07/03/06
Hello, Could you please tell me whether there exists such a word as "annualy," which can be used as a noun? One of my English-Japanese electronic dictionaries has the word in it. It says as follows: annualy / noun an annual publication I know the words "annual" and "annually," but I've never encountered such a word as "annualy." None of my other dictionaries has the word "annualy" in it. I strongly believe it's misspelled. Also, this dictionary has the following: commitee satelite controled area baloon pumping They all seem misspelled to me. I really would like to make sure whether the words above really exist. I appreciate your help.

Good morning, Manabu. Yes, annually is a word in English. It means "occurring every year", but annualy does not exist. It is a misspelling. In fact, you are correct in guessing that the entire list of words you sent is misspelled. I strongly suggest you stop using the electronic dictionary that offers these spellings. It's been poorly translated and even more poorly edited! JMF
