h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

hi i am just looking at http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/brunel/F119176?thread=271546&post=46976739#p46976739 i just wanted to be sure that it should be spelt BYLAW in american englsh? -------------------------------- Bit confused about bylaw Post: 1 Posted Apr 29, 2003 by Cloviscat While I'd agree that one may come across bye-law occasionally, it's not strictly correct in British English either. The form actually used in writing laws is 'bylaw' - just as you have given it for American English. Here's the first example I can lay my hands on, in a piece of Subordinate legislation (on of the 'active bit's that are hung off the bottom of an Act of Parliament when it becomes lawsmiley Look at section 4 subsection 7: http://www.hmso.gov.uk/cgi-bin/htm_....hmso.gov.uk/si/si1998/19980494.htm What a geek smiley
