No, I like the tough questions!
I have a 'heavy' dictionary which has word origins, etc. and spoonsful isn't in it either - It lists the plural as spoonfuls. But it's a British dictionary so maybe it's a (North) American thing?No, I like the tough questions!
You're right! The reason I remember the spelling is that when I was at school(some years ago, now), if we got a word wrong, our English teacher made us look it up in the twenty-volume oxford english dictionary in the school library. Spoonsful was one of those. Of course, the OED is not (yet) available online; however, as you say, spoonsful is NOT listed as an alternative in the modern Webster's, Merriam, Collins, etc.
Also, spoonsful is not accepted by TERB's auto-speller -- which should settle the matter!
Spoonsful IS in Wiktionary, though.
I'm sorry for assuming that you cared if the answers you were posting were correct. What was I thinking?
