An American-English dictionary, and a (Commonwealth) English Dictionary then. Otherwise, it has to be all listed as seperate entries.
Um. What about words that are spelled differently within and between Commonwealth countries? Or words like accoutrement/accouterment which are spelled differently within the US?
Of course they shouldn't be separate entries, but Gerard's database design seems to be dicating that one.
Frankly I favour the first option, because to non-American-English speakers, the American spellings are simply misspellings.
Well that's news to this non-American-English speaker 8-)} I don't regard them as "misspellings" at all. Just different.
