As a member of the Centre for Proper Spelling I must take the Yanks to task.
Johnson's dictionary came out about seven years before Webster's. Just
because you win one bloody war doesn't give you the right to change the
language.

We must gird our loins put on our armour and engage the enemies of grammar
in a new theatre of war. ; - )
