Over the years, the spelling of 'Atillator' evolved, to the modern spelling of "attiliator". Most students today do not know the origins of the word, and some have claimed that the word was made up. Neither 'atillator' nor 'attilliator', however, are words used in the modern English language. The unique spelling by Skule makes it the only distinctive use of the word today.

==Chief Attiliator==
===Etymology===
Since the time of William the Conqueror, the title 'Atillator' has been given to the man responsible for maintenance of defense works and weapons of war. The title was synonymous with Engineer and the word artillery was probably derived from it. The Atillator was responsible for the number of guns used, their storing, mounting, and protection.
