I'm sure. I just didn't want him riposting at me. Re: I don't see that it's useful arguing about English spelling, but to each his own. I am not interested in "arguing" about English spelling either. My subject was the historical context in which variations in English spellings arose, and whether or not that context might elucidate the variations. I don't think that is "arguing about English spelling". I don't think I'm even "arguing" about history, or, for that matter, about anything at all. I am simply positing a possible explanation for certain variations in spelling. If you disagree with me disputatiously, then we might be "arguing" about historical influences, I suppose, but, in any event, we would not be "arguing about English spelling". We both agree on how the variations of English spelling we are spelling are spelled. That means we are agreeing, not "arguing", or even disagreeing, about English spelling. So there!
