Tim, I've written to Merriam Webster on an issue before (for a TV show I was working on) and they will make a ruling. Will you accept that the authority for spelling, that is the accepted arbiter for the patent and trademark office, the gov't, and for every school system in the US is the final arbiter on this issue? I will send them the letter and your comments. I'll accept their verdict will you? Or do you honestly believe anyone gets to make their own rules for the spelling of a word that is already in existence and accepted rules be damned?
