encyclopedia
Well.... ok if you're speaking Modern English ( is that an oxymoron??? )
The original spelling from the ORIGIN pseudo-Greek enkuklopaideia, for enkuklios paideia ‘all-round education’ is Encyclopaedia and it still appears in the Oxford English dictionary.
Alongside the abridged version.........
You'll be typing in an American accent next and misspelling Paediatrics....
