Spelling

Putting JASS online has made us acutely aware of trans-atlantic spelling issues. The most important of these is 'gynaecology' (the UK spelling obviously) and 'gynecology' (the American spelling). Both are of course, correct. For instance, articles from AJOG will use the 'gynecology' spelling, and BMJ, we'll use 'gynaecology'. We have been using 'gynaecology' , but are considering adding the American spelling when used by the journal article being summarized.
