Whoa! So the college prof I learned it from over 40 years ago taught the wrong spelling! :eek:

I was an editor for a publisher of microbiology journals. You'd be surprised how many Ph.D.s aren't great spellers.

U.S. ones, anyway. Papers submitted from Europe and Asia often had impeccable spelling.

As the cover letter accompanying one resubmitted paper said, "The English has been corrected by our Swedish author."
