SJ, I'm not picking on you, not being a grammar nazi because lord knows I make errors and/or have many autocorrect issue...but I've seen this typed this way a few times, so I wanted to get clarification. Is it Dobbs Defense or Defence? If it is the latter Dobbs, why the play on words? Just curious.
Defence vs. defense
Defence and defense are different spellings of the same word. Defense is preferred in American English, and defence is preferred in all other main varieties of English, including Australian, British, and Canadian English. The spelling distinction extends to most derivatives of defence/defense, including defences/defenses and defenceless/defenseless. But the words defensive, defensiveness, and defensively have an s everywhere.
Though defense is now the American spelling, it is not American in origin. The OED and Google Books reveal examples of the spelling from as long ago as the 1300s, many centuries before the United States existed. That spelling continued to appear a fraction of the time through the 19th century, when it was taken up by American writers. Today, to the chagrin of those who dislike American English, the spelling is gaining ground throughout the English-speaking world.
