Not sure what Nan meant by swimming pools earlier
6:08 am

Enable is the king of alternative spellings

I guess so, I can't find that spelling by google. weird.
6:10 am
aslindy
anyway, thanks for the clue
6:10 am
MollyL
It comes right up, first hit. In parentheses next to the other spelling
6:11 am
MollyL
The spelling makes sense when you see that it is named after the German city named the first six letters of the word
6:12 am

you're right, I'm blind.
