m I meant supercede in the last summary, of course. Not a good idea to misspell a word in a typo discussion. |

Line 561:
:Agreed, my desktop dictionary as well as Merriam Webster online lists supercede as an accepted variant spelling "since the 17th century". It is probably not a big deal, except I am seeing several of articles where the only change is supercede to supersede. In a group of typos there may not be resistance to the change, but changing an article for a single typo which is not a typo may cause friction, given the strong feelings about article content adopted by a number of editors. Perhaps AWB might rethink the change? -- [[User:Michael Devore|Michael Devore]] 18:26, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
::Interesting. I have an older dead-tree M-W (7th ed.), which has only SUPERSEDE. This [http://www.bartleby.com/61/ online American Heritage Dict.] has only SUPERSEDE too.--[[User:BillFlis|BillFlis]] 19:45, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
