"Going to the movies depends on wether there is anything to see without CGA"

where did this word come from? it's not in the dictionary so I assume it's just wrong to use it
OUI?

The word you are looking for is spelled "whether." Aside from the small spelling issue, your sentence is fine.

Actually there are three words that sound identical, but are spelled differently: whether; weather; and wether. "Wether" is infrequently used. It means a castrated ram. It might not be in every dictionary.

What Glenn said. Hence, "bellwether" -- the sheep with a bell around his neck, leading the flock, and by extension, a leader or indicator.

Oh, this'll be confusing with a Glenn on the board. For me, at least.

But good to know that about the bellwether!
