<x-charset utf-8>          Jurij Toplak sent the attached message, which is undoubtedly correct.  Spelling, including spelling of names, was casual in the English language until about the beginning of the Nineteenth Century.  But I think there is little doubt but that the accepted modern way to spell the name in question is Pinckney.

	Prof. Lowenstein,
	 
	I checked Charles Pinckney. Probably Pinckney is the correct spelling, and yes, Scalia should certainly use the correct one. But many of the sources spell it "Charles Pinkney", too. Especially, The Debates in the Federal Convention of 1787 reported by James Madison, constantly uses Pinkney. See here three excerpts of the Convention debates by Madison:

	http://www.thisnation.com/library/madison/may-30.html
	 
	There are also other authors who use Pinkney:

	Best,

		        Charles Pinckney was a delegate to the Constitutional Convention, one of the dozen or so most influential delegates.  Did anyone notice that Justice Scalia misspelled it "Pinkney," not once but twice?
