what is the correct spelling: speaking of "witch" or speaking of "which"? In what dictionary can I find it?

Question

It is used when somebody says something and then you continue the idea. exemple: George has lost his job.
Speaking of witch|which, Jane lost her job, too.

Answer 1

The term you're looking for is "speaking of which". It is used after a subject or topic is brought up. The "which" refers back to the subject/topic just brought up.

Answer 2

"Speaking of which..." is correct. See the difference below.

3. Used instead of that as a relative pronoun in a clause that defines or restricts the antecedent: The movie which was shown later was better.
3. Any of the things, events, or people designated or implied; whichever: Choose which you like best.

Answer 3

It's 'speaking of which'. A witch is a female wizard, who flies around on a broomstick.
If you're confused by which one to use, you can always look in your dictionary and find the definition of each of the words. That will tell you which one you should be using.

Answer 5

What you are speaking of is called a HOMONYM - words that are pronounced the same, but carry different meanings. To the best of my knowledge there is no dictionary dedicated to this task, BUT there are lots of word lists out there. Just plug homonym into your search engine and see what happens. I found the site referenced below on Google. Good luck and happy word hunting.
