hey....to be honest ..I really don't know what is the meaning of skweemish..but I answer this since I just want u to know how hard for a word to be appeared in the dictionary..
Each and every dictionary wait and see new words every year.. u know that the very new words appear and disappear every year..May be some of them are popular in some parts but honestly it is not widely known..After nearly 5 years of study..and after deciding that it is a well known word ....then that new word is listed in the dictionary...every new word does not get into the dictionary in an easy way...
but by any chance..do u mean skirmish??

Squeamish is the correct spelling and means that a person is of delicate stomach or conscience. It can either be applied to a physical defect or a mental one. Hope this is of help.

The problem is simply that in a dictionary, words are spelt correctly.
If I had a £ for every time someone has said to me,'Your dictionary is no good, it does not have (e.g.) skweemish in it'
Don't feel too bad about it. Try 'squeamish'.

I think that the correct spelling is squeamish.
1) easliy nauseated or disgusted
2) fastidious or dainty
3) easliy shocked or prudish
4) excessivley particular or scrupulous as to the moral aspect of things
There! Now you don't have to look it up! :-)

Squeamish is the correct spelling. "easily shocked or upset, easily made to feel sick by unpleasant sights"
