Antennae NOT antennas

Remember that the Yanks' spelling is atrocious
and they do not really speak English, for example,
"colour" and "centre", so they may be excused
for their bad spelling of, "antennae".
However, there is no cause for we Brits to
take on board crass Americanisms.
The dictionary is the authority on the correct spelling of words and both
US and UK dictionaries show "antennas" to be a correct spelling.
Grow up and get over it.
