How do you spell "pendent," with an "a" or an "e"? And, have you ever used the "head count" method of resolving spelling disputes? I'm afraid to say that I have done, many a time - for example, get on Westlaw, pull up the SCT database, stick in "pendent /s jurisdiction" as the query (78 cases), stick in "pendant /s jurisdiction" (1 case), draw your own conclusions.
I won't mention our in-house dispute over the correct spelling and usage of the term, "kitten kaboodle," except to say that in many notes to my assistant I tell her I want the "whole kitten."
