The word "won't" does not look logically formed

Heh. I like that. I'm going to start writing all my correspondence using British/Canadian spellings for lable, decible, reble and lible.

Once, while working in the U.S., I comment to a colleague that for some words, Canadians commonly use British spelling, while for other words, Canadians commonly use American spelling. Former, "colour"; latter, "tire". My colleague then asked "Do Canadians spell 'civilization' with an ess or a zee?" I replied "Canadians spell 'civilization' with a zed."

There's a story told about a sign painter who was hired to paint a sign for the front of a bakery. The sign was to read "Pies and Cakes."
After working on the layout awhile, the painter asked the baker, "How much space should I leave between Pies and and and and and Cakes?"

I hope the baker gave the answer in pie-cas.

Very interesting. I had wondered about this too. Just figured it was something we borrowed but really had no idea other than that.
