It's "bellwether," guys. Not trying to be snarky here. It's a common and understandable mistake.

No problem. I appreciate the correction. When I was typing bellwether, I attempted, “bellweather,” which of course is wrong. Thought, okay, obviously two words.

Actually, I enjoy fixing my writing.

Bell weather, noun referring to weather so murky that everyone must wear a bell to announce his presence so as not to collide with other persons. Also known as foghorn weather.

Yes, one needs to remember that this is about sheep and the leader of the flock.
