Toward(s)

0 00Most of my life I've written it as Towards, but I have seen it spelt with and without the s. I didn't think anything of it before, as I live in one of those countries where we have an influx of American books, as well as those from the United Kingdom. People here just go half & half. However, my girlfriend who is American told me recently that there is no such thing as Towards, which made me do some more thinking on the subject.02br

00 I looked in the Webster's Dictionary Abridged Edition, (highly American biased) and noticed both Toward & Towards are grouped together. Does this mean that in the U.S. many people are starting to accept both forms of this word? Or is it only printed here to signify the fact that the rest of the world writes it with an s attached?02br
