The word which means “A special advantage, immunity, permission, right, or benefit granted to or enjoyed” is “privilege.”

There are no A’s in this word.

There are no D’s in this word.

There are 2 I’s and 2 E’s in this word.

Please absorb this very simple spelling, for the LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY!

This post bought to you by the half-dozen different misspellings of this very simple, very common, third grade vocabulary word in this thread about driving.

Oh, and since this is the pit: learn to spell you frickin idiots! :smiley:

And why oh why do so many people abbreviate et cetera as ect???
