not a minor point at all, this - just as their 'history' and 'geography' became increasingly inbred over the years, so has the spelling deteriorated, in the case of the latter led by a Noah Webster who made a misleading 'dictionary' on which the inhabitants founded a cult it has been found amusingly appropriate in some quarters that a word with this meaning would have a US provenance Marcos, gee...you sound like a frenchmen. they always complain about our imperfections as we speak their language. America has citizens from or with roots in 250 countries...we never claimed perfection...i chuckle that you even think it should be a goal for us. we can never be pure, lily white like those of strict British lineage. we will let you have your perfect king's english...yes, you may have it and you may keep it along with your perfect tax system. Americans are not striving to be perfect... we are satisfied with being damn good. and free. unclewest
