Cynthia M. Bernhardt to
Timothy J. Porta, 101 No.

etta, took place on Satur-
day, October 21, at 2:00
PM in the Sacred Heart of
Jesus Christ Church, Lan-
caster, with Monsignor
Damian McGovern officiat-
ing.
The bride is the daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Carl Leo
Bernhardt, 1039 Columbia
Avenue, Lancaster. She
graduated from Lancaster
Catholic High School and is
employed by K-Mart in
Lancaster.
The bridegroom is the
son of Merton E. Porta,
Manheim, and Mrs. Joan
Stevens, Maytown. He
graduated from Manheim
Central High School and is
employed by Armstrong
Cork Company’s Marietta
carpet plant.
Miss Sherri Lynn Brack-
bill of Mount Joy was the
maid of honor. Bridesmaids
were Mrs. Catherine Nolt,
sister of the groom,
Robesonia; Mrs. Marvel
Zahm, Lancaster; and Mrs.
Linda Dunn, Lancaster.
Junior bridesmaids were
Miss Jennifer Lewis, Lan-
caster, and Miss Julie
Bernhardt, New Jersey.
Flower girls were Miss
Shari Porta, half-sister of
the groom, Manheim, and
Miss Jennifer Nolt, Robe-
sonia. Ringbearer was
Christopher Bernhardt,
brother of the bride,
Lancaster.
Serving as best man was
Douglas Shenenberger of
Manheim. Ushers were
Marvin Charles, Manheim;
Mike Porta, brother of the
groom, Manheim; Donald
Heistand, Manheim; and
Jerry Hinds, Mount Joy.
Junior ushers were Patrick
Bernhardt, brother of the
bride, Lancaster, and

The couple will live in
Marietta.
We won’t apologise!
Last week, an anony-
mous Marietta grammarian
sent us an envelope con-
taining our corrections
(from page 2) with the
word ‘‘apologise’’ circled
both times it appeared.
The same thing hap-
pened about a year ago
when we published an
apology for ‘mispelling”’
someone’s name.
Now, while we were
happy (well, willing) to
admit that we had mis-
spelled ‘‘misspelling,” we
are not ready to admit our
guilt in the more recent
case.
Although Webster's
Abridged makes no bones
about the zee in ‘‘apolo-
gize,”” both the Oxford
International and the Ran-
dom House Unabridged
dictionaries state flatly that
“‘apologise’’ is an accept-
able (though ‘‘chiefly Brit-
ish”’) variant spelling. In
fact, in The Queen’s
English, it is preferred. .

hanna Times does not
restrict itself to the spel-
lings favored by Shake-
speare, Dickens and James
Joyce. We conciously avoid
such Britishisms as ‘‘har-
bour,’’ ‘‘labour,’’ ‘‘syren,’’
“tyre,” ‘‘travelling,”’ and
‘‘draught.”” On the other
hand, we do not hold
Webster in undue re-
verence.
Noah Webster, after all,
is the man who, according
to legend, was once caught
in the act of infidelity by
his wife, who exclaimed;
“Noah, I'm surprised at
you.”’
Whereupon Webster
rejoined, ‘‘No, madame. I
am surprised. You are
astonished.”
Is this the sort of man
whose spelling quirks
should be followed as
gospel by respectable jour-
nalists? We think not.
On the other hand, we'll
try to use a zee (that’s
‘‘zed’’ in England and
Canada, by the way) from
now on.
