Correct spelling of the word "manufactury"

I've been the editor of the Arizona Authors Association for the past few years, as well as an editor for major corporations throughout the past 30-plus years. Manufactory is an acceptable but outdated term; manufactury is a variant, and factory is just plain easier. However, I agree on the "charm" part in using manufactory, lampions, and several other words.

I read somewhere a long time ago that the word "manufactory" was a contraction of "manufacturing factory" which does not roll off the tongue very well. You know the American version of English does not always make sense.

I have to be honest: if this were to come up for a vote, I would vote no. There are many, many other things I would appreciate the devs focusing on than doing a ctrl+F, ctrl+R on the word "manufactory". That said, if they ever chose to do it, the way they did for the word "Bishop", which they changed to "Abbot" so that now I have a "Tome Abbot" instead of a "Tome Bishop" (and that's odd since it's a chess set), it's not something that I think would affect me one way or another.
