Game: Regional Spelling Differences in English
8
votes
Well I don't think that this game can go on for very long but I think that it is important for non-native English speakers to learn this. Some words in English are spelled/punctuated diffrently depending on if you are in the U.K. or the U.S. So the game is to post both spellings (label from which region) and the translation in Spanish. Example:
U.S. Mrs.
U.K. Mrs
(U.S. uses a period, U.K. doesn't.). This is not an alphabet game, so feel free to post any in any order. This is for spelling diffrences too, not just punctuation. :D HAVE FUN!!
Also, if you would like to post how other English speaking countries (Australia, Canada, ect.) spell things that would be great!

Great idea. There are probably other countries that should be included, such as Australia, New Zealand, Canada, etc. - Nicole-B, Jul 26, 2010
In the UK, we should use a "full stop" after an abbreviation. - fontanero, Jul 27, 2010
