American and British English spelling differences. British and American spellings around the world. English is official  defence/labour/organise, English is not official  Canadian defence/labour, but organize, etc.  defense/labor/organize, English is official  defense/labor/organize, English is not official. Many of the differences between American and British English date back to a time when spelling standards had not yet developed. For instance, some spellings seen as "American" today were once commonly used in Britain and some spellings seen as "British" were once commonly used in the United States.

A "British standard" began to emerge following the 1. Samuel Johnson's A Dictionary of the English Language, and an "American standard" started following the work of Noah Webster and in particular his An American Dictionary of the English Language, first published in 1. Webster's efforts at spelling reform were somewhat effective in his native country, resulting in certain well- known patterns of spelling differences between the American and British varieties of English, however, English- language spelling reform has rarely been adopted otherwise and thus, modern English orthography varies somewhat between countries and is far from phonemic in any country. Historical origins[edit]Extract from the Orthography section of the first edition (1. Webster's "ADEL", which popularized the "American standard" spellings of - er (6); - or (7); the dropped - e (8); - or (1.

An 1. 81. 4 American medical text showing British English spellings that were still in use ("tumours", "colour", "centres", etc.). In the early 1. 8th century, English spelling was inconsistent. These differences became noticeable after the publishing of influential dictionaries. Today's British English spellings mostly follow Johnson's A Dictionary of the English Language (1. American English spellings follow Webster's An American Dictionary of the English Language ("ADEL", "Webster's Dictionary", 1. Webster was a proponent of English spelling reform for reasons both philological and nationalistic. In A Companion to the American Revolution (2.

John Algeo notes: "it is often assumed that characteristically American spellings were invented by Noah Webster. He was very influential in popularizing certain spellings in America, but he did not originate them. Rather […] he chose already existing options such as center, color and check for the simplicity, analogy or etymology".[3]William Shakespeare's first folios, for example, used spellings like center and color as much as centre and colour.[4][5] Webster did attempt to introduce some reformed spellings, as did the Simplified Spelling Board in the early 2. In Britain, the influence of those who preferred the Norman (or Anglo- French) spellings of words proved to be decisive. Later spelling adjustments in the United Kingdom had little effect on today's American spellings and vice versa. For the most part, the spelling systems of most Commonwealth countries and Ireland closely resemble the British system.

In Canada, the spelling system can be said to follow both British and American forms,[6] and Canadians are somewhat more tolerant of foreign spellings when compared with other English- speaking nationalities.[7]Australian spelling has also strayed slightly from British spelling, with some American spellings incorporated as standard.[8]New Zealand spelling is almost identical to British spelling, except in the word fiord (instead of fjord). There is also an increasing use of macrons in words that originated in Māori and an unambiguous preference for - ise endings (see below).

Latin- derived spellings[edit]- our, - or[edit]Most words ending in an unstressed - our in British English (e. American English (color, flavor, behavior, harbor, honor, humor, labor, neighbor, rumor, splendor). Wherever the vowel is unreduced in pronunciation, e. Most words of this kind came from Latin, where the ending was spelled - or. They were first adopted into English from early Old French, and the ending was spelled - or or - ur.[9] After the Norman conquest of England, the ending became - our to match the Old French spelling.[1. The - our ending was not only used in new English borrowings, but was also applied to the earlier borrowings that had used - or.[9] However, - or was still sometimes found,[1. Shakespeare's plays used both spellings before they were standardised to - our in the Fourth Folio of 1.

After the Renaissance, new borrowings from Latin were taken up with their original - or ending and many words once ending in - our (for example, chancellour and governour) went back to - or. Many words of the - our/or group do not have a Latin counterpart; for example, armo(u)r, behavio(u)r, harbo(u)r, neighbo(u)r; also arbo(u)r, meaning "shelter", though senses "tree" and "tool" are always arbor, a false cognate of the other word.

Some 1. 6th- and early 1. British scholars indeed insisted that - or be used for words from Latin (e. French loans; but in many cases the etymology was not clear, and therefore some scholars advocated - or only and others - our only.[1. Webster's 1. 82. 8 dictionary had only - or and is given much of the credit for the adoption of this form in the United States. By contrast, Johnson's 1. U. S. independence and establishment) dictionary used - our for all words still so spelled in Britain (like colour), but also for words where the u has since been dropped: ambassadour, emperour, governour, perturbatour, inferiour, superiour; errour, horrour, mirrour, tenour, terrour, tremour.

Johnson, unlike Webster, was not an advocate of spelling reform, but chose the spelling best derived, as he saw it, from among the variations in his sources. He preferred French over Latin spellings because, as he put it, "the French generally supplied us".[1. English speakers who moved to America took these preferences with them, and H.

L. Mencken notes that "honor appears in the 1. Declaration of Independence, but it seems to have got there rather by accident than by design. In Jefferson's original draft it is spelled "honour".[1. In Britain, examples of color, flavor, behavior, harbor, and neighbor rarely appear in Old Bailey court records from the 1. One notable exception is honor. Honor and honour were equally frequent in Britain until the 1.

UK, the usual spelling as a person's name and appears in Honor Oak, a district of London. Derivatives and inflected forms[edit]In derivatives and inflected forms of the - our/or words, British usage depends on the nature of the suffix used.

The u is kept before English suffixes that are freely attachable to English words (for example in neighbourhood, humourless, and savoury) and suffixes of Greek or Latin origin that have been adopted into English (for example in favourite, honourable, and behaviourism). However, before Latin suffixes that are not freely attachable to English words, the u: may be dropped, for example in honorary, honorific, honorist, vigorous, humorous, laborious, and invigorate; may be either dropped or kept, for example in colo(u)ration and colo(u)rize or colo(u)rise; ormay be kept, for example in colourist.[9]In American usage, derivatives and inflected forms are built by simply adding the suffix in all cases (for example, favorite, savory etc.) since the u is absent to begin with.

Exceptions[edit]American usage, in most cases, keeps the u in the word glamour, which comes from Scots, not Latin or French. Glamor is sometimes used in imitation of the spelling reform of other - our words to - or. Nevertheless, the adjective glamorous often drops the first "u". Saviour is a somewhat common variant of savior in the US.

The British spelling is very common for honour (and favour) in the formal language of wedding invitations in the US.[1. The name of the Space Shuttle Endeavour has a u in it as the spacecraft was named after Captain James Cook's ship, HMS Endeavour.

The special car on Amtrak's Coast Starlight train is known as the Pacific Parlour car, not Pacific Parlor.
