Anyone know how common the usage for stationary with an a is - especially in non-US locales? Thought I would ask since it is labeled as a misspelling - maybe it is instead an alternate spelling. I set up a redirect for the alternate since it is so common. Trelvis 20:09, Sep 3, 2003 (UTC)

According to the OED, the spelling stationary has not been used in this context since the 18th century. The noun is now universally spelled stationery. However, there is an adjective stationary which means motionless. Shantavira 12:47, 1 May 2004 (UTC)
