This list I made because I have clients in the UK, who do not like the fact that us Americans don't spell words the way they do! So I made a list of common words (US english)(tab)(UK english)! All the words are spelled correctly, it is used to do a 'auto change' of words from (US_ENG -> UK_ENG) or (US ENG <- UK ENG)...

Also, the underscore (_) is usually interchangeable with a hyphen (-), as in en-US. EDIT: I have a full list of these ISO codes, if you need them. They are sorted by code, and have the accompanying language name next to them. _________________ Gordon P.

Quote: All the words are spelled correctly Not quite. Are you sure there's such a word as 'councellor'? Quote: councellor counsellor councelor counsellor counselor counsellor counselors counsellors I think perhaps what was intended here is councilor councillor councilors councillors counselor counsellor counselors counsellors Quote: enrollments enrolment Should, of course, read enrollments enrolments Both 'unenrol' and 'unenroll' are incorrect. The correct US form is 'disenroll', and the UK form is 'disenrol'. Also, of course, 'unenrolls unnrols' should be 'disenrolls disenrols'. There's a 'checkbook' and a 'chequebook' in the list, but no 'cheque' or 'cheques', and 'centermost centremost' should, strictly speaking, be 'center-most centre-most'. Spelling cow doesn't recognise 'honorless' or 'honourless'.... I think perhaps 'honorless' and 'honor-less' are equally acceptable in the US, but I'm not sure that this word even exists in British English. 'Skillfulness' is a ridiculous word, IMHO, and there is no such word as 'skilfulness' as far as I'm aware. A Brit should just use 'skill'. Also, 'sympathisingly' should be 'sympathetically'. There are several other errors in meme's list, on the US side.... most (if not all) of the other UK spellings are correct, but if Spelling Cow doesn't recognise some of the American spellings, it's probably because they're wrong (all the 'synchronize' and 'miniaturize' variations, for example, are misspelt), with the possible exceptions of 'honorless', 'reinstallment', 'subcenter' and 'unicolor'. Some additions - Brits can legitimately use 'spelt' for 'spelled', 'misspelt' for 'misspelled' and 'dreamt' (pronounced dremt) for 'dreamed'. These variations are interchangeable. Other omissions from meme's list include 'unflavoured' and 'dishonourably'. UK English uses 'programme' where US English would use 'program', except when referring to a computer program, which is still 'program' in UK English, the spelling having presumably been adopted from the American, which leaves me a little unsure as to the legitimacy of 'vapourware'. This it what we Brits refer to as 'Americanisation', though you guys would doubtlessly spell it wrong.... HTH, TMB _________________ I'm a gentleman. You're a gentleman. Who'll feed the pigs?

How do you like 'dem apples You can spell "color" with a "u" to your heart's content I already have the basics working on my development machine. What I need to finish up is if say you are a Brit going to an American site and want to use the UK dictionary instead of the site default US one. I need to figure out if I want to do it via cookie, a profile setting, or by having folks register a spellingcow account.

However, I'd appreciate it if you'd remove the word 'offencive' from the UK dictionary. It's true that the UK spelling of 'offense' is 'offence', but 'offensive' is spelt the same. 'Offencive' doesn't exist. _________________ I'm a gentleman. You're a gentleman. Who'll feed the pigs?
