D'OH! Fail # 72.06/za7! Nancy Shepherdson was the clever author of the
def that caught a vote from Tim Bourne!

I really did have to rush, or make everyone wait until about 2/3rds of a
day to learn how it went! So sorry, Nancy!

Hmm interesting that M-W and other online sources spell it without the
middle E though the original French word has it. Searching M-W for the E
version immediately brings up the non-E version, such is the power of
search engines to tell us what they assume we want rather than what we
type. Google at least tells you when it makes such an assumption.

I also looked it up after I voted, and while enjambment is clearly the
basic spelling in both BE and AE, I found that
www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary says "also enjambement". And the
following all say "or enjambement": www.collinsdictionary.com (British),
www.thefreedictionary.com, and www.ahdictionary.com (the last is the online
American Heritage).

I guess one might ask if it's okay to use a secondary spelling, assuming
it's an accepted one. I don't know whether the question's been raised before.

For what it's worth, Chambers, Collins and the OED all list both spellings.
The verb 'enjamb' seems to be universally E-less.

I cannot remember where i first encountered the word (with the e) ... in
something i was reading, i think. I put it in my list of possible dealing
words, with that same link after it. I think perhaps in the time since
then, they changed the link's behaviour? I first saw - make that "first *
noticed*" the word *without the e *when i searched for it *inside G-mail
itself *to find all the defs (which failed to get one that didn't include
it).

I may have failed to notice the distinction at that link, way back when i
first searched it. The URL of the link has the e, and i guess that is due
to the French origins. Apologies, all for this francophonic error!

Dodi, I guess I didn't read closely enough to see both forms. If it's in
there it's dealable as far as I'm concerned.
