*amused by Jennifer*
I'm just saying that the first dictionary wasn't published before 1604 (120 pages, Robert Cawdray) and the first real dictionary was Johnson's, from 1755 and during the 1700s the aristocracy would spell as they talked, with results such as sartinly (certainly), byled (boiled) and gine (join), if you are to believe McCrum et al - the story of English.
Damn - I hate getting interrupted all the time. Get me away from this hellhole they call work!
