Watch Out for These Spelling Faux-Pas!

If you are writing or editing for different markets it’s a good idea to keep an eye on convention.

American English typically adapted the spelling to reflect the way that the words sound phonetically.

It’s a good idea to make sure you are using the right spelling for the right audience!
