I didn’t know that!

One of my (grown-up) kids recently messaged me: What’s the difference between splatter and spatter?

I don’t know... is there a difference? I messaged back...

I thought you’d know - you were an English teacher.

I guess I didn’t use those words all that often.

So I googled: spatter vs splatter...

And lo and behold - there is a difference! Spatter is scattering SMALL drops - and SPLATTER is scattering large ones!

Live and learn!
