Straight vs strait
In this edit, "straight-laced" was arbitrarily changed to "strait-laced", which I reverted after doing some research. This is a common thread in other dictionaries. Wikipedia doesn't generally prefer one spelling over another but it does say that spelling shouldn't be arbitrarily changed and that we shouldn't use archaic spellings except in quotes. -- Aussie Legend  ( ✉ ) 05:54, 2 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Wiktionary shows straight-laced as the primary spelling and strait-laced as an alternative
 * The Oxford dictionary goes into the origins of the word and, while acknowledging that "strait" was the original spelling, it says as strait is now old-fashioned and unfamiliar, it is more commonly interpreted today as the usual word "straight" and that "straight-laced" is more common than "strait-laced".
