Not trying to settle any questions of American vs. British spelling. Honest. But it needs to be self-consistent. The Wikipedia convention, which I do approve of, is to retain the national spelling and usage conventions of the article in its early stages. This doesn't work, since the first submission was inconsistent. I selected emia because that's the very first usage, the one in the title (which it's generally a good thing not to change for light and transient reasons). In any case, surely we can avoid the Wikipedia practice of wars in which one national usage or another is considered incorrect. Daniel Drake 02:56, 4 April 2007 (CDT)
