hmmm I thought of the American/English divide but a couple of the novels were American and I know both spellings whereas most of my spellings (which are correct all you American people - our dictionary was published first!) are only the English...we stil have felt and built so I wondered if it was just a shift to the d sound and away from the t sound...hmmm I do believe more brainwork (at least I do!) is needed...
