1. When your Dictionary shows more than one spelling for a word, I bet you were taught to use the one listed first? So were most of us, I think. Yet according to the dictionaries themselves (generally in the tiny type up front) whenever it gives two spellings, it isn't urging us to choose the first one; its telling us that either spelling is fine and that both occurs in our language with roughly equal frequency.
