What does wheat have to do with the spelling of Ada?  ;-)

I remember when this was considered the incorrect spelling of "spelled".
IIRC, this became accepted because it was misspelled for so long, like
some other words in American English.

Can I dare dream of the day when ADA becomes an accepted spelling of Ada
because it is so commonly misspelled on a large scale because of it's
widespread usage? ;-)  Of course, if they can't get the name of the
language right, their code may be a little suspect as well.

And no, I'm not advocating spelling it incorrectly.  I don't like it
either.

*** I just did a major change on my website (couple weeks back) to change
the spelling of Ada to be consistant throughout my website :-).
