it's a shame you don't have a sense of humor! ;-) sounds like someone's a little sore about her spelling prowess. as far as the ultimate judge of the spelling of hi-falootin, i would go with whatever Yosemite Sam says.
Quoted from: itaduc - "is that really how you spell "high-fallootin' "??? did you run spellchecker? i hope Josh has a good ride."
Well, every once in awhile, I do have to consult the dictionary (because spell-check programs are getting to be about as useful as MapQuest). Of course, my one-stop shop for proper prose is (duh) The Urban Dictionary, which defines (and spells) "high falootin'" as "another way of saying something is way fancy". You are probably thinking of the stuck-up version of the word (highfaluting) which is readily referenced in shifty sources such as Webster's and Oxford's and means the same thing but in print, is commonly mistaken for a 3-legged coffee table from Ikea that sells for $11.99. I don't want to confuse anyone.
And after all that, I see that I threw in an extra 'L'. Crap. Thank you!
