advice Don't forget the "U" - American vs British Spellings

Here in Canada it's Labour Day today, but if you're in the US it's Labor Day. Since proper spelling is so important with domain names, we looked at American vs British spellings in honor of the holiday. Lots of things to keep in mind if you're buying domains that have regional spelling differences.

There is no such thing as 'American English'. There is English. And there are mistakes.

its called a dialect...

I have always tried to get both I have also tried to cater to Americans with my spelling on forum.
Favourite vs favorite I went with US for sake of form but would buy both for a domain.
Often you can pick up a UK spelling when an American registerers something of interest.
I picked up a vapour keyword domain when vapor was developed.

If you use microsoft word spellcheck you can see the difference between USA spelling and UK spelling.
