Webster? What's that? Oh, I see, it's an American English dictionary ! Well,
that explains it! 

:-)   (-:

Seriously tho', how about a discussion in net.nlang (which has been pretty
empty recently) about differences between American English and (if I may
be so bold) `real' English. Both myself and many English people I know
consider them to be two dialects of the same language, although I'm not
sure that dialect is the correct term in this case. Are `American' and
`English' drifting further apart ?

I'd be interested to see peoples views on this.
