In reply to David (Normandy) ) who wrote this in

I can never remember how to spell beaurocracy - it comes out
different every time and my spellchecker usually doesn't know what
I'm trying to spell either.

Can you spell bureau?

From the French, bure, meaning well (as in hole in the ground) and eau,
meaning water. So a bureaucracy is a hole full of water. And, in my
experience, it might just as well be.

Actually, it's a bag of lies, but next time you need to spell bureaucracy
you'll be able to :-)
