Isn't an "also" spelling simply a euphemism for "wrong spelling that's apparently acceptable since so many people make the error"?
Speaking of such, a headline in the NY Times last week used the word "Till" as in "until" or " 'til " I forget the exact headline, but it was something like US Army to stay in Iraq Till the Cows Come Home.
Has "Till" become a formal variant of "until"? And God help us if it has. What's next, "thru" and "nite"?
