Hello Guys and Girls! While playing this game I keep getting annoyed by people trying to correct my spelling etc! I'm British so I went to school and learnt British English! I am going to explain what words we spell different! Please don't post hate! Words ending in –re British English words that end in -re often end in -er in American English: British - Us centre - center fibre - fiber litre - liter theatre - theater or theatre Words ending in -our British English words ending in -our usually end in -or in American English: British - Us colour - color flavour - flavor humour - humor labour - labor neighbour - neighbor Words ending in -ize or -ise Verbs in British English that can be spelled with either -ize or -ise at the end are always spelled with -ize at the end in American English: British - US apologize or apologise - apologize organize or organise - organize recognize or recognise - recognize Words ending in -yse Verbs in British English that end in -yse are always spelled -yze in American English: British - US analyse - analyze breathalyse - breathalyze paralyse - paralyze Words ending in a vowel plus l In British spelling, verbs ending in a vowel plus l double the l when adding endings that begin with a vowel. In American English, the l is not doubled: British - US travel - travel travelled - traveled travelling - traveling traveller - traveler fuel- fuel fuelled - fueled fuelling - fueling Words spelled with double vowels British English words that are spelled with the double vowels ae or oe are just spelled with an e in American English: British - US leukaemia - leukemia manoeuvre - maneuver oestrogen - estrogen paediatric - pediatric Nouns ending with –ence Some nouns that end with -ence in British English are spelled -ense in American English: British - US defence - defense licence - license offence - offense pretence - pretense Nouns ending with –ogue Some nouns that end with -ogue in British English end with either -og or -ogue in American English: British - US analogue- analog or analogue catalogue - catalog or catalogue dialogue - dialog or dialogue Thanks for reading this pointless thread!
