original passage: Some sources state that "expresso" is an incorrect spelling, including "Garner's Modern American Usage". While the 'expresso' spelling is recognized as mainstream usage in some American dictionaries, some cooking websites call the 'x' variant illegitimate. Oxford Dictionaries online states "The spelling "expresso" is not used in the original Italian and is strictly incorrect, although it is common." The "Oxford English Dictionary" and "Merriam-Webster" call it a variant spelling. The "Online Etymology Dictionary" calls "expresso" a variant of "espresso". The "Oxford Dictionary of American Usage and Style" (2000) describes the spelling "expresso" as "wrong", and specifies "espresso" as the only correct form. The third edition of Fowler's "Modern English Usage", published by the Oxford University Press in 1996, noted that the form "espresso" "has entirely driven out the variant "expresso" (which was presumably invented under the impression that it meant 'fast, express')".
original sentence: Oxford Dictionaries online states "The spelling "expresso" is not used in the original Italian and is strictly incorrect, although it is common."
sentence2: If an Italian speaker were to look up the term in her own native-language dictionary, would she be able to find a definition under "ex-", as one would expect if the dictionary authors accepted such a spelling?

While the 'expresso' spelling is recognized as mainstream usage in some American dictionaries, some cooking websites call the 'x' variant illegitimate. According to Oxford Dictionaries, "expresso" spelled with an x is foreign to the original Italian and is to be considered a misspelling, even though it has grown quite common. The "Oxford English Dictionary" and "Merriam-Webster" call it a variant spelling. The "Online Etymology Dictionary" calls "expresso" a variant of "espresso".
