Writing Tips: Spot the Difference (4): Weather vs Whether vs Wether

May 18, 2011 By submeg

Wether
A castrated male sheep.

Weather
The state of the atmosphere with respect to temperature, wind, cloudiness, moisture and pressure.

Whether
Used to introduce a question, usually outlining a choice in options.

I was unsure whether the cloudy weather was effecting the behaviour of the wether.
