Pullout Box – American or British
Read the feature with the students and explain that often American English and British
English have the same word but it’s spelled differently. For example, the word ‘favorite’ in
American English doesn’t have ‘a’ or ‘u’ in it but in British English is does, ‘favourite’. Other
words also have the difference between the addition of ‘a’, ‘u’ or not: colour/color,
honour/honor, flavour/flavor, odour/odor.
