Pesonally, I prefer discouraged spellings, uh, spellynges. Archaic is even better. I had a Limey mother and at least half of my childhood books were of the Limey persuasion. Consequently I can hardly spell at all. Honor/honour? Center/centre? etc.
I mean, who'd going to be boss, some pedant or my creative spirit?
Oh, I'm hip to that, but in the case of spelling "forgo" (meaning "abstain from") as "forego" there's a different word with that spelling (meaning "precede").
