		<description>It is indeed &quot;American spelling&quot; that is causing a great deal of the controversy.  The English of England have always been a conservative group and like to have a &quot;proper&quot; way of spelling things.  Americans are well regarded as rebels on more than one front, and with text-speak now we see the beast in full charge.  

Keeping up with the American language is challenging for the writers of dictionaries, much less the ordinary person.  Many phrases and spellings have changed even in the last ten years.  I still insist on saying &quot;I couldn&#039;t care less&quot; because &quot;I could care less&quot; means exactly the opposite of what the speaker means to say. But I am over 60, so I am attached to speaking correctly rather than in idioms.  This can present a dilemma to writers.  Write as you see it? or write as the public sees it?  Give an opinion and an example.</description>
