 Sorry, can't access that without coughing up $300, so it's not gonna
 happen. :-) But M-W doesn't mention that spelling or recognizes it when
 offered. See:

 http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=straight+forward
 
 But I don't want to turn this into a dictionary or language flame, so I'll
 let you decide. (like I have a choice anyway. :-) )
