<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TIF, post: 2243604, member: 56859&quot;]When words are translated from other languages, the spelling may have various equally correct (or incorrect) approximations.&nbsp; For this particular word, I&#039;ve not noticed any definite preference within numismatics, although perhaps &quot;gryphon&quot; is used more often by European auction houses and &quot;griffin&quot; by US.</p><p><br /></p><p>Regarding &quot;nother&quot;, I don&#039;t mind when it is spelled <span style="color: #0000ff">&#039;nother</span>, with the leading apostrophe appropriately indicating the elision.&nbsp; I do understand that language is a living and mutable thing, but the accelerated pace of accepting <i>improperly used</i> words is sad.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
