Hello, Marck D. Pearlstone!
DAC>> As to esthetics, I like the British spelling of Centre, but
DAC>> think you should go British on the whole name: Connexion Centre
MDP> No, the correct "British" (I prefer "English" here) *is* Connection
MDP> Centre. Connexion is not even in the dictionary here.
What a bad dictionary you have ;)
A. S. Hornby's Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary of Current English
(1988) says:
Connexion - occasional GB spelling for connection.
Lohn O. E. Clark's Word Perfect (A dictionary of current English
usage) - Harrap's Reference (1989) says:
-ection is the preferred spelling to -exion in such words as
confection, connection [snip] thus avoiding such combinations as "in
connexion with the election".
So, Marck, you are again completely right about the English usage
except for not having a good big dictionary. ;)
