dependent or dependant
"Dependent is the adjective, used for a person or thing that depends on someone or something: Admission to college is
dependenton A-level results. Dependant is the noun, and is a person who relies on someone for financial support: Do you
haveany dependants?"
This is not for mailing-list pendantism, but just to make sure
that the right spelling gets into the code. (The page mentioned
above was found by entering "dependent dependant" into Google.)
