I must have missed that memo in the 90s. My recollection, dusty as it is, is that this variation was around even back then. Perhaps it just became a piece of fanon that stuck.

I have a few scripts too though have not necessarily taken them as authoritative on canon given that they also can deviate from canon. But I think the scripted spelling combined with PJ’s observation of one of the closing credits is pretty darn persuasive!

Not that I’m going to stop my rogue “LaCroix” ways lol. The once and future fanon for me. And my tablet keyboard (where I do most of my writing) now autocorrects to it 😄
