While on the subject of spelling and grammar, when I lived in Lincolnshire there was a school in a nearby town which was called the King Edward VI Grammar School. Outside one of the entrances was a beautiful polished brass plaque. It looked very nice, except for the fact that it said "King Edward VI Grammer School." Oh dear! Not a very good advertisement for a school!
I have no idea if the signs are still there or not, but many moons ago on the outskirts of north London you could drive along a road and watch the spelling change at each intersection. In some places it was "Wagon Road" and in others "Waggon Road." (It used to join up with Stag Hill, for any English readers familiar with the Cockfosters area.)
