Georgina
Hi I'm Georgina from BBC Learning English. In today's lesson, we're going to look at three 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.

 

American English (Am) vs British English (Br) spelling

Remember!
It doesn't matter if you use British or American spelling, but it is important to be consistent!

-er / -re
Words which end with –er in American English, often end in –re in British English.

  • I live in the center of town. (Am)
  • I live in the centre of town. (Br)

-ize / -ise
Verbs which end in –ize in American English can be spelt in British English with either –ize or –ise.

  • Can you organize this meeting? (Am)
  • Can you organise / organize this meeting? (Br)

-or / -our

  • What's your favorite color? (Am)
  • What's your favourite colour? (Br)
