I think you do not what plagiary is. It was always stated that the lists 
were compiled from a variety of unnamed sources. The original work is 
the location and compilation from these lists. The issue is not whether 
the lists are credited but what is the actual claim. that determines 
plagiary.

The issue is what do the sources say having lived in the Toronto suburbs 
(Buffalo, NY) my observation was there were many American spellings used 
in informal documents. Official documents tended to follow more closely 
UK spellings than US.
