Has to do with the aftermath of the War of 1812 when Madison wanted to get rid of some of the Olde English attributes of Amerispeak. He Twittered his friend Merriman Webster, asked him to meet him at Starbucks to make a number of adjustments which Webster then up-loaded to his on-line dictionary ... an app on the new generation iFonz so people don't have to have attended post-jHS english class to spell well (the adverb ... not the hole in the ground ... ) see what I mean?
