- kwhitefoot 6y agoEther is a perfectly valid spelling in British English. See meaning 3 at https://www.lexico.com/definition/ether https://www.lexico.com/definition/ether.
- Aloha 6y agoIts valid in American English too, frankly and see it used frequently. Out of the ether, Ethernet and so on.
- m463 6y agoso either aether or ether. :) We take the name ethernet for granted now, but it really is quite a clever name. nowadays it is practically just a point-to-point network, but the original implementation was a bunch of clients connected to their private "aether" all shouting out to each other.
