I keep telling her the 'accepted' spelling is "lozenge"

But, after 44 years of marriage, she continues to never believe anything I say

What say all of you?

Lozenge - Sorry Mrs Old Salt xxx
I always call it a "lozenge".
I put Lozenge although Mrs Salt is right in her thinking ..it's from the French Losenge or Losange but our accepted spelling is Lozenge ....

It sure will be interesting next Monday, when they post the answers
