Dear wwh, Another case of an erroneus spelling is in Orwell's essay on Nationalism, where the opening sentence refers to Byron's usage of the word, 'longuer'.

An abridged version of this essay was a compulsory read for us in high school. I was scanning through the essay again, in its unabridged form available online and the first thing that popped up was the difference between Nationalism and Patriotism; maybe we should start another thread on that! If we can find the time to first plod through the whole essay, that is! . Thanks wwh, for bringing this up, albeit indirectly.
