"American usage" my eye

I changed the common folk-etymological spelling straight-laced to strait-laced. Drmargi reverted, saying, Incorrect spelling for American usage. Strait is a predicament (or a geographical feature).

American usage? I'd be very surprised to learn that strait is in common usage anywhere in the world in the sense of straight.

I first saw the term (spelled my way) in an American publication. (I rather think it was an interview of Hugh Hefner, which mentioned his strait-laced upbringing.) The senses Drmargi cites are both derived, as is the metaphor, from the original meaning 'narrow, constricted'.

But according to this article both spellings are about equally old. —Tamfang (talk) 01:39, 19 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
