Actually, "s" is FRENCH, not English :-)

Bearing in mind The Times is one of the oldest English newspapers, I 
gather someone did a study of old editions, and it used zed (not zee!) 
when zed was the norm long long ago. And it CONTINUED using zed right up 
to the 1970s, when it finally gave into public pressure and adopted the 
French ess, some 100 or 150 years after most of the rest of the 
publishing industry.

Cheers,
