My American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, kept by my
computer, lists both caffeine and caffein as acceptable spellings. I
remembered that. Then I went and screwed up the "i before e except
after c" exception. (I got Earl Grey right (not gray). Do I get points
for that?) (And I'm one of the rare people on the list who usually gets
its/it's correct. I think I deserve bonus points.)
