Fascinating....Who would have thought that there was such a story behind the addition/subtraction of one letter. I have actually often wondered about that difference, and had just put it down to some weird local usage. Just goes to show though, that whilst Latin might not be studied much these days, but it still has a powerful influence on our language.
