> Notchet

Wherefore the first 't'? I know that Stafford and Petersen spelling of proper nouns was often, in the Good Old Days(*) somewhat... as it were, "individualistic", but correct me if I'm wrong, _this_ one they always seemed to manage the same way. I'm saddened to report that the errant version has even made it into Convulsion PR3... Leading target of the Orthographic Inquisition is one N. Brooke...

Slainte,
Alex.
