but I never saw the word spelled "lede" 40 years ago -- not in high school journalism classes, not at The Observer, not working for local newspapers and not as an intern and stringer for the Chicago Tribune.

That's how my daughter spells it, so I have no doubt that it's now the standard in newsrooms and elsewhere.

But I'm pretty sure it's a relatively recently development.
