@RojoLoco I'm an American, and I've never seen tilapia spelled tiliapa 8-)... If you have, maybe there's a bunch of folks making a typo somewhere, lol.
I've seen Chipotle spelled both ways here... which one is right?
Well, I did grow up in Georgia, so I should have said Southern American...
and the correct spelling is chipotle. The 'tl' consonant cluster is indicative of the old Aztec Nahuatl language, before the influence of European Spanish.
(see, there's a 'tl' at the end of Nahuatl...) -

'Amongst' is absolutely a word in both American and British English, amongst many others.

Quite true. I was just curious as I tend to default to among since that is what I was brought up saying, lol.
