`  -  as for the spelling of ``medieval``: The OED reports no recent uses of ``mediaeval``.  Lewis himself had ``medieval`` in the title to ``The Discarded Image`` (as old versions of the page, and other sources, show).  The OED reports nothing distinctively American about ``medieval`` or British about ``mediaeval``, recording uses from both sides of the pond (though the latter, as I said, has no recent uses).   06:05 16 Jul 2003 (UTC)`
