Webster's vs. the OED!!!

:-)) I'm a huge fan of the OED but the trouble is that the 20 volume
big version I own, so often tells me that words that I prefer to spell
in the traditional British way are just as valid when I spell them the
US way. Very disappointing when I want to put on my pedant's hat and
insist that a certain word MUST be spelled a particular way.
