Sunflower Lover, There were 7 UK spellings and 8 US spellings. Would you have been happier had the ratio been reversed? SMH

I deliberately chose the opposite answers and scored 100% correct. SMH I'm so tired of this reverse scoring nonsense! 👎

Hmmm. I am Canadian and I spell many words in the British style. You would think that after 71 years I would have learned to use the American spelling of words such as favourite or neighbour but I just can't lose the habit and find myself correcting the spelling in my head when I read these words, lol

Pat Anne Hughes Everett, That's what I wondered, too. Just because I know the differences doesn't make me either one. The picture implies U.S. I'm just a Canadian obsessed with etymology and historical spelling.

tyafter, It's because those words primarily have French origins, and the spellings reflect that. Early American dictionary compilers took out the u just to be "not British." Petty, really.

Include the answers people...c'mon! And I've always wondered what was with Britain's love of the letter "u", which gets thrown into so many simple words.

True Original. Don’t think that I got any wrong but answers would prove it! Pointless quiz!

Could have been a great quiz, but Homey likes to give Wrong answers, to mess with you guys with you’re pointed little heads. How can we learn if there are no correct answers? You guys should have picked up on this by now!
