How do we spell cancelled/canceled? Is there a trick to correctly spell this?

Answer 1

here, i'll explain to you in simple words.

cancelled is the British English way of spelling. it is correctly spelled.

canceled is the American English way of spelling. it is also correctly spelled.

you can use either :D

by the way there are other differences between British and American English. one example is as follows: organisation/organization, advertising/advertizing, demoralise/demoralize, recognise/recognize, etc.
all the above examples are correctly spelled. the only difference is that the British spell the words above with the S while the Americans spell the words above with the Z.

hope this clears your confusion :)

Answer 2

I agree that both the US and UK ways of spelling cancelled are acceptable- Depending on where you live!

The UK rule is ..
When a word ends in a vowel followed by the letter 'l', you double the 'l' before adding 'ed', 'ing' or 'er'. level = levelled, label = labelling, travel = traveller. The final consonant is not doubled when it is preceded by two vowels or another consonant. feel = feeling, halt = halted.

Answer 3

both are fine---
American spelling is canceled
UK spelling is cancelled
so depending on wher u r, u must spell it..
jus remember, american english mostly is spelt like the pronunciation and is pronounced like its spelling
getit????
