Hi, what others words are spelt differently in the USA from the english words? like colour is color, thanks xx
Other Answers:
-re becomes -er
doubled consonants -ll -pp etc are often just single -l -p in the US
-ae -oe in words derived from Latin/Greek become -e
verbs ending in -ise in UK appear as -ize in US
examples below
humour humor
theatre theater
cancelled canceled
oesophagus esophagus
realise realize
Erm... In the UK we use s's in stead of z's for example we'll spell it hypnotise whereas in American they'd write it hypnotize.
Let me think of more.
