Dick, when I was about 12-13 I went through therapy to compensate for dyslexia. One of the things the therapist did was to reinforce spelling rules. So this American got in the habit of adding the extra L in some words, like Travel -> Travelled. The spelling check always objects, but I ignore it. Perhaps she had English roots.

Will, the English language isn't just the most hospitable, adaptable and changeable languages in the whole world: English meets and appropriates the rich resources of other languages. It's a bit of a tyrant in that way!
