1 in 50 People Can Ace This British Vs American Spelling Beat Quiz

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!

True Original!👍😎 No answers!👎😝

This looks like one quiz where they don't give answers and give the correct result. What a change! Still please give answers.

Trixie - Rose, I've never come across defense as a verb. Defend is the standard verb form.

I just wish we all spelt proper English. (i.e. received British) but having lived in both spheres I understand both spellings.
