- Shouldn't it stay in in some way. There are about
737 fiction g.b.c hits for it that aren't scannos. (10,000 for "on top") Common misspelling? Alternate spelling? proscribed? DCDuring 19:31, 19 November 2007 (UTC)- Not alternat(iv)e spelling: if anything, a misspelling. A common one by definition, I suppose, if you've found three citations spanning a year. And I don't know whether it's common enough to be proscribed.

—msh210℠ 20:29, 19 November 2007 (UTC)- To rare a misspelling to be common. It seems to be used just like "atop"? Is it modern dress of "atop"? DCDuring 14:48, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
