Cancelled Vs Canceled 1 Year, 5 Months ago  
How do you spell it?

My assistant wrote me a note about a meeting. I corrected her spelling when she wrote "Canceled". Being the "big cheese" I politely told her, "You misspelled it, it should be Cancelled".

She promptly sent me this....

So which way do you spell cancelled or canceled? Turns out they are both correct spellings depending on where you come from. Cancelled is the British spelling while canceled is the American spelling. Both are completely acceptable but will sometime trip up your spell check depending on how you have it set up. For more details please refer to Read more.... au.answers.yahoo.com.


Currently eating crow and I wonder how others here spell it. - I hate being wrong! ?

(PS - I'm the "Big Cheese" only in my mind)
