Semester Lists for Semester 1 Week 21

Tip of the Week


Certain words in the English language have two forms of Spelling. For example, 'jewellery' which was used in the Semester 1 Week 19. It could be spelled in the following ways:

jewellery

jewelry

Other such words include:

1. judgement and judgment

2. acknowledgement and acknowledgment

3. tranquillity and tranquility

4. spelled and spelt

Note that such words are spelled differently within the British language (that is the British themselves spell the words two ways); it is not the case that one form is British spelling and the other American spelling.
