Get connected

[ghoti_mhic_uait]

When did 'connections' stop being spelt 'connexions'? Was it later on one side of the Pond than the other? I noticed recently that Raymond Chandler spelt it the old fashioned way, yet my instinct says that the ct spelling would be more USian than Brit; or maybe not.

It's odd.

X is American, which is supposedly closer to olde English than modern English is, though given that spelling in olde English was pretty much on a whim I'm not sure how they can tell.
