Thank you both for your speedy response, spot on.

factor-fiction

Yes, ouvre, (from manouvre ).
Incidentally bibblebub- is my memory playing tricks or was this spelt manœvre (with o and e joined together) when i was at school?

factor-fiction

oops, oeuvre frm manœuvre

factor-fiction

...from !

bibblebub

factor30 - I can't remember spelling it differently in the past but it's not a word that crops up often enough to be memorable. Doesn't mean that it didn't happen.

You are right, factor30. They were called diphthongs (ae, oe, etc). They are largely ignored now because of modern word-processing methods.

I never wore a dipthong in the 60s but I can remember words such as Encyclopædia with the a and e joined together as æ. Other examples of œ were onomatopœia and fœtus The symbols are available on Word but I never see them used. It does look a little odd /pretentious now to join letters together.
Incidentally I hate the US spelling of manoeuvre which is maneuver - I think that does look odd.
I can also remember when we used hyphens in to-day and to-morrow. That certainly looks odd now.
