Spelling differences: Analyze this, criticise that…

I live in Malaysia, and we use British English in as our second language. But if you work in computer-related field or watched too many hollywood stuff, you may encounter spelling differences between American English and British English.

Most notably is : “program” is actually “programme” in British English. “dialog” is “dialogue”, “argument” is “arguement”

analyze = analyse
critized = critised
color = colour
favorite = favourite
rooster = cock (hehe, ok i’m getting tired of this)

  1. Ah yes the troubles of adapting your english depending on whom your speaking to. Not much of a problem really as most people recognize both spellings.
