I just finished writing a lengthy screed in response to an email that contained an essay moaning about the supposed persecution in this country of those with religious beliefs.
Never mind my screed, although you can read it if you want to. What I want to talk about is this:
Which word is spelled correctly: worshipping or worshiping?
My email spell-checker said the latter, where I had the former. My American Heritage dictionary and Princeton's WordNet accept both, although they list the single p version first. The spell-checker built into the Blogger editor flags neither.
If you're going to argue for the latter and you skipped past the title of this post, I ask, have you ever read The Shiping News?
