Not allowed by whom? Copy editors? The _second_ edition of Webster's New
International Dictionary (unabridges)--the one now called 'prescriptive'
because it dares to label some usages as substandard--gives both spellings
of the word with no comments. You may use either version in American
English, even if copy editors have litters of kittens...
