Q ~~ I was writing of what is the standard [i.e. usually recognised in English orthography] spelling of a word. That is not claiming any particular branch of the language as "Standard English", with caps ~ you will note that the word you hilite in bold in your cut&paste is NOT capitalised , is it?


If you propose to censor me to the extent of forbidding me to employ a common adjective of quality like 'standard', you might as well, while you are about it, throw a wobbly when I write 'the' ~~

~~ and then I suggest you take a guess at just what I think you can go and do to yourself.
