British English & American English: SPELLING DIFFERENCES
Should it be HUMOR or HUMOUR? ORGANISE or ORGANIZE? Spelling can be difficult enough, but in English we have the added complication of differences in spelling between American and UK English. In this lesson I’ll cover the main categories of words which are spelt differently in British English and American English. And what about Canadian English? Basically, it’s not something to worry about, just something to be aware of, so that you can RECOGNISE it (or even RECOGNIZE it!) when you see it. https://www.engvid.com/british-english-american-english-spelling-differences/
