By definition, the client does that.^ It's fun seeing this spelling. The Oxford English Dictionary actually considers this the correct version, and, IIRC, make a point of saying so. I've never seen this spelling anywhere else up to now, nor havi I seen any other dictionaries that accept it.
<wrinkles nose, grins> I'm glad people notice.A lot of Australians (and, othersI guess) get sick of Americans who think their way is the only way, and of Australians who pander to the notion. We're expected to accept American TV shows and flicks in American and to understand American jokes.
We're also expected to Americanise _our_ TV shows (I'n not sure there's much traffic in that direction) and flicks in case they don't understand our culture and our humour.
If my use of connexion rather than the more usual connection makes people think a moment, that's good.
