Answer 3

Daniel is correct - it's a matter of spelling differences between British and American English.

The same is often the case with "sherd" and "shard."

Most American archaeologists refer to a broken piece of pottery as a "sherd" while I have seen some British archaeologists refer to the same item as a "shard." Typically American archaeologists limit the use of "shard" to broken pieces of glass, though a number of journalists and other non-specialists in the US seem to have a problem understanding the difference.
