The dictionary is the authority on the correct spelling of words

So one chooses the dictionary that matches one's argument? Which

The one for the language and dialect you speak, obviously.

So if you consult an American dictionary you would start calling
fringes "bangs"? YUCK and BIG SPIT.

One would consult an American dictionary only if one wanted the American
meaning and spelling of a word, obviously.

Don't get me started at the misuse of the singular and plural cases of

I feel better now. Thanks Gareth for providing a thread in which I can
vent my spleen.

lady wears to church.
