BTW, I had Kasabi (back when she was teaching at Servalan's boarding school...well, you had to be there) pour herself a drink. I couldn't remember if it was supposed to be "whisky" or "whiskey" so I went back and changed it to "gin."
One small corner of the UK spells it whiskey. The rest spells it the Scottish way, even though *we* have the world's oldest licensed distillery, not the Scots.
