English alternative spelling of via. Two more citations needed. DCDuring TALK 19:36, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

Here are three, though this passes as "clearly widespread use" IMO. — Raifʻhār Doremítzwr ~ (U · T · C) ~ 19:04, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

Okay, done, but I don't really see why this needed to be an RFV, considering how many thousands of hits Google Books got on this, and how clear it was that at least many of them were in this sense. (Possibly all, but I didn't check.)--Prosfilaes 20:24, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

Well, in the original scanned pages, the first and third of the cites have the headword in italics, which we don't consider as valid English attestation of such a spelling. I couldn't get access to the second citation via the link. DCDuring TALK 23:02, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

The (now reordered) second cite has Lignes de Normandie (England viâ Dieppe or Le Havre), which means it didn't put viâ into italics to mark it as foreign.--Prosfilaes 00:40, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

• This seems dated, UK, AFAICT. Perhaps it was widespread there once. DCDuring TALK 19:27, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
