So it's your fault!!! I saw an article about chiles in the local Gannett rag a couple of 
weeks ago where the writer managed to use chile, chili, chilis, chillies and chiles. If 
you really want to know the correct spelling, and the reasons why, go down to your 
local library and check out "Peppers, The Domesticated Capsicums" bu Jean 
Andrews. It's published by the University of Texas press and it's not a coffee table 
book.
