Lilish, of course you can, but how do you intend to state it?

" I find myself in a dilemma when discussing air pollution, as we use coal on our fire."

Kitos.

I'm having a problem here.

Google tells me the word is 'dilemma', no matter how hard I try to find 'dilema'.

(And my spell checker won't let me write it either, it screams at me.) Sad

You are correct Andrea, although my dictionary shows only one "m". I've always spelled it with one "m" ever since I faced my first dilemma.
