Spelling "Flotation"

[edit]

Is this the right spelling? I see it spelled as floatation in the Wiktionary.

I agree also and floatation in floating not separation aof mixtures

According to a couple of dictionaries (OED and Mirriam-Webster) it seems ‘floatation’ is historically more correct, but ‘flotation’ is now more common (a google search confirms this last point...) Editing the page to say this. Pit-trout (talk) 22:17, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge "floatation" into "flotation"

[edit]

"Flotation" seems to be the modern accepted spelling (my Oxford English Minidictionary (1991) lists "flotation", but makes no mention of "floatation"), and as I've just found that there's another disambiguation page by the name "floatation", I suggest merging it into this page.

I went ahead and did it. NJGW (talk) 03:29, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
