Department of Spell Check

Another very surprising omission from the MS Word spell-check dictionary: scry. I thought at first I had  misspelled the word, so I typed it out again.  Still misspelled.  I typed it out again. Still misspelled.  Then I had a moment of paralyzing doubt:  maybe this word doesn't exist.  I think it does.  But maybe since it's late, my mind is playing tricks on me.   I had to cut-and-past from my document into the dictionary to ascertain that I was not, in fact, losing my marbles.  Besides, I've been scrying in my crystal ball.  I won't loose my marbles for at least another three months.
