Naught also means nothing, but it does not mean nought (ie zero).

Again: in the language as she is wrote (and also as she is documented), this distinction is optional. Shall I say it again? :-)

Perhaps I'll try again for some variation?

@ allikat: In the language usage conventions you are used to there may be the distinction you are making. But as far as the leading English dictionaries are telling me, there is no difference whatsoever in their meaning. It is just a spelling variant. The Oxford dictionary hints that the spelling with "a" may be the North American variant.

You really cannot appreciate Shakespeare until you've read it in the original ~~Klingon~~ ~~English~~ American.

It's not my wont to get involved in these discussions.

No ship is silly, I mean what would they do if you pressed f1? Fire your ass out of the docking port in a space suit with a snow board strapped to the feet?
