So I've finally figured out where another of my spelling/pronunciation variants comes from ("towards", or any other "X-wards"; as opposed to the "-ward" variants). According to Jeremy Smith's American-British/British-American dictionary it's a Britishism. (As for "acrosst", "amongst", and the like the jury's still out. Jeremy Smith lists them as uncommon Americanisms but who knows.)

ExpandSpelling 'mistakes', or spelling 'reform'? )
