Don't go by Aussie dictionaries, they're rubbish! Pommy English with a few
more Americanisms and some inbred spellings? Feck that! Use the Oxford! The
enrollment/enrolment thing was already covered, the "ll" is American.

We can't move it onto another mailing list, because these questions appear
very infequently, and no-one would subscribe to the sodding things.
