Well, nothing is *just* an orthography. en-US is mostly an orthography,
but (as I've said before) yoou don't really understand the variety until

In might the Feanorians / that swore the unforgotten oath
brought war into Arvernien / with burning and with broken troth.
and Elwing from her fastness dim / then cast her in the waters wide,
but like a mew was swiftly borne, / uplifted o'er the roaring tide.
