British spelling should be just as acceptable, if not more so, than American spelling, e.g. jeweller.

windshield/windscreen sidewalk/pavement garbage/rubbish "sanitation worker" / bin man your mom /your mum also dollar, cent, quarter etc should be taken out, as with the states. |

at 2:52 PM, Friday April 4, 2008 CDT Allowing both spellings would be good for words like racket/racquet, color/colour... not for sanitation worker/bin man, dollar/pound. You can't take out all the words that are used in one culture vs another. Should torch and flashlight be the same? Elevator and lift? Eh.

at 2:58 PM, Friday April 4, 2008 CDT I have found that many misspellings are accepted by the system anyway. Would that cover an extra 'u' here and there?

Brits have as much of a hard time figuring out how to spell the American word as Americans get flustered about the British words. We usually figure it out anyways. :P |
