OP apostrophe/accent Hmmm...you think this particular dictionary chose to incorporate the accent in the word-listing? Though I've never seen science spelled that way, I thought perhaps it might be some archaic spelling...perhaps indicating the prefix sci- was shortened from another word originally, or an extra letter dropped...perhaps scioence? Or am I making a mountain-etymology out of an accent-molehill?
