It's an obscure spelling, particularly favored by the Victorians, for whatever reason, and the main reason I know it is because I majored in medieval/mediaeval studies in college. And BTW, thanks for the compliments!

I guess someone had their hand out, or a few people did. Such ugliness! It took them more than a year to complete that repair job and it looks like a smacked ass. <br /><br />@ 6:58: People were still worshipping there when they decided to sell! You heathen! What would you have liked to see there, let me guess, another overpriced "lux" bar? You can't even spell medieval!

Massive amounts of humidity tend to filter up into the apartments above, not to mention off gassing of some rather nasty (and explosive) stuff. There are "natural" methods of pool maintenance, but they're expensive.
