Tomas,
The article in Wikipedia, which describes Canadian spelling as a mix of
American and British, is pretty good. Here's the link:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_English#Spelling
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_English#Spelling>

Hope that helps.

formatting)


Hello,

May I post another question to this group?

How would one go about to "detect" major differences between American
English and Canadian English spelling (if there are any...)? Any references
you can point me to that <might> discuss these issues?

Cheers,

Tomas Nilsson
