Sand-Which

     Did you know that the word sandwich is not a compound word of the words sand and which?
A compound word combines two words that can stand alone as words, into one big word!
     Examples are, boardwalk, lifetime, grandmother. These words can be broken up into two words that can stand alone with their own meaning.
BUT, the word sandwich is not a compound word! It only has one H in it, contrary to popular belief. Many times I've seen people spell it as sandwhich, as though it is a compound word.
     This hits home for me (no pun intended) because my hometown is actually named Sandwich, and I know it is spelled like the food, so it helps me remember the correct spelling for the word.
