Brooch vs. Broach

✭✭✭
The correct spelling for the piece of jewelry in question is brooch, as in "Grateful Lwaxana's Brooch". "Broach" is a somewhat archaic term meaning to raise a difficult topic of conversation. Sorry to be a nerd, but this has been bugging me for weeks!!!

I thought the same at first, but as has been pointed out in another discussion, it turns out that both spelling are accepted.
