Maybe that there is a world out there that spells it differently.
 
Like colour, aluminium, herb, etc. etc. :-)
 
Before I came over here i'd never heard of a speleothem, but i accept
that they exist.

        Hi Don,

        I know what a speleothem is

        A speleothem (from the Greek
<http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/Greek+language>  for "cave
deposit") is a secondary mineral deposit formed in caves
<http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/cave> . It is the formal term
for what is also known as a cave formation, or amongst cavers sometimes
known as decorations or pretties. 

        But I don't know what a speleotherm is. Have I missed something?

        Louise
