: : Is usa(d)ge a British spelling? In our unabridged dictionary, I found no alternate spelling for "usage."

: : I know that we Yanks have our own spelling for some words, stemming from our desire to separate ourselve from the mother country. Perhaps this is one of them.

: : ES

: I think it was a play on a typo in the subject of your original post where you accidentally spellled usage u-s-a-d-g-e.

I checked a few sources and found no such word as "usadge".
Also I found no such word as "spellled".
The irony of it all!
