All this criticism [

Dr .
Johnson ,
struck with the extraordinary irregularity of giving c its hard sound before e ,
altered the spelling ,
and his example has been followed by most of the lexicographers who have succeeded him ;

In the United States this practice is reversed ,
a large and increasing majority of educated persons preferring the orthography which is most in accordance with etymology and analogy .
