Hi I'm Georgina from BBC Learning English.
-
In today's lesson,
-
we're going to look at 3 differences between
-
American English and British English spelling.
-
Words which end with '–er' in American English,
-
often end in '–re' in British English.
-
For example:
-
'I live in the center of town.'
-
changes to 'centre'.
-
Normally, verbs which end in '–ize' in American English
-
can be spelt in British English with either '–ize' or '–ise'.
-
For example:
-
'Can you organize the meeting?',
-
changes to 'organise' (or 'organize').
-
Sometimes words with '–or' in American English
-
can be spelt in British English using '–our'.
-
For example:
-
'What's your favorite color?'
-
changes to 'favourite' 'colour'.
-
It doesn't matter whether you use
-
American English or British English spelling.
-
Just make sure you use one or the other.
