  Connection: Ogden's Use of an American Word-Form

"Connection" is a Webster-American letter-use which somehow made into Ogden's list. Though some British writers like Thomas Hardy made use of "connection," a great number of British writers have made use of the other form of the same word: "connexion."

If you have knowledge of the history behind the word, you may have a feeling that "connexion" makes the better sense, though the form is not regular.
