[交流] Canadian English

Canadian English

Canadian English (spelling)

Canadian spelling is a strange mixture of British English and American English.

* British spelling used by Canadians:

Canadians use "honour", "labour" instead of "honor" and "labor"
Canadians use "centre", "calibre" instead of "center" and "caliber"
Canadians use "jewellery" instead of "jewellry"
Canadian use "labelled" instead of "labeled"
and presumably "traveller" instead of "traveler"

* Americanism adopted by Canadians:

However,
Canadians "rationalize" and "recognize", not "rationalise" and "recognise"
but Canadians usually "analyse", not "analyze".
Canadians use "program", "artifact", "tire" and "specialty" instead of
"programme", "artefact", "tyre" and "speciality"
Canadians use "asthetic", "medieval", "encyclopedia" instead of
"aesthetic" "mediaeval" "encyclopaedia"

How complex is too complex!

but do Canadians use "learnt", "spelt", or "learned" and "spelled"?

Le'ts listen to Canadian English expert, Ms ricemuimui
(Excuse me, do Canadians use "Ms." or "Ms"?
