Re: correct spelling for word

Sometimes I think we only look at the "American" side of things...not
a bad thing...(:-D)

From what I can see sphagnum is the Dutch spelling and spaghum is the
English version.  I would also assume (maybe incorrectly I don't know)
that the English version may not have been the first used or sold on
the planet...hmm...
