Lightning and Lightening
Sep. 25th, 2012 12:45 amI posted this on Tumblr but it probably needs to be said here because I see the mistake too many times.
Fro Dictionary.com:
Lightning
a brilliant electric spark discharge in the atmosphere, occurring within a thundercloud, between clouds, or between a cloud and the ground.
Lightening
noun Medicine/Medical .
the descent of the uterus into the pelvic cavity, occurring toward the end of pregnancy, changing the contour of the abdomen and facilitating breathing by lessening pressure under the diaphragm.
As you can see, they are NOT the same thing. Please keep this in mind.
