A Note on Spelling, Eh?

or

Catalog? Catalogue? Which spelling to choose? Berman's works, works about Berman, and the quotes in the website use the American spellings of the words 'catalog', 'cataloger', 'cataloging' and variations thereof. Therefore we made the difficult decision to choose consistency over country and have used the American spellings throughout the website. Melvil would be happy.
