>Thanks, Len. I don't think it applies to American English. At least the spelling with an "s" isn't in my dictionary. I did seem to recall, however, seeing this spelling used by people from the British Isles. (I kind of pay attention to them. I'm English, Irish, Scots, Welsh< s >).

Glad to be of help. I just hope that those of us using English English are not going to be told that it is "best practice" to use the American spelling.
