The word “gray” is spelled “grey” in England, and “color” and “colour” --“honor” and “honour”…
Why are there such differences in spelling?
Why “programme” is spelled “program”, but “programming” stays the same?
U.S.A has its own accent and expressions and so does Canada, Australia…etc. Do we really speak English in U.S.A?
Shouldn’t we say American or north-American language instead of English?
If not, who is wrong? --As the spelling doesn’t affect the pronunciation or the meaning.
Do you know any other differences?
If you are from Canada, Australia or Scotland, how do you spell these words?
Thank you very much!
