Copied, approximately, from French. At least Noah Webster went
directly to the Latin source for his spelling.

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.


I doubt if even the Americans would be so crass as to follow a
preposition with a nominative (subject) pronoun.
