[Aurelius]

Webster was a damned Yankee. We don't admit his worthless dictionary in our homes, and eschew his vulgar misspellings.

[Aurelius]

"For cultural distinctiveness the LS eschews the use of Webster's so-called "American" English orthography which actually is nothing more than a bastardisation of the proper and correct English language by New England busybodies."

"Whenever possible, we prefer to use the more traditional, antebellum Southern English orthography; widely known to many as the Oxford standard which once saw widespread usage in Dixie prior to the War for Southern Independence and Reconstruction and even some limited use afterwards. This is why you'll see words like "colour" and "organisation" throughout DixieNet instead of the spellings you were taught in school."

" No self-respecting antebellum Southern writer would ever have considered using Webster (for obvious reasons) as a guide."
