G'day Allyn,
Hmmmmmm,

Now we're into semantics.
I think that you would probably find that the word "arse" is about as "anglo saxon" as you could get, and would suspect it was around long before the pilgrim fathers ventured to the new world, and it became "ass" over there.
My comment was about the way we seem to follow wherever America wants to lead us. As I said, Melissa was just the messenger in this case.
The spelling is becoming more and more in general use in Oz.
It's just one more nail in the Aussie coffin, along with KFC, MacDonalds, french fries, nite, trail instead of track, reeeesearch, reeeepeat and deeefence etc. etc. ad nauseum.
Coming over to your wonderful part of the world next year mate - got the brochures and am couning the days.
enjoy the bush
