Another common issue learners of the English language may find is the classical spelling of some words.There have actually been petitions(请求)to update the classical spelling of these words.Certain words have already changed slowly over the years and some are actually in the process of changing today.The word synaesthetic is now being accepted when spelled as synesthetic.This is an advanced word for English learners,but the spelling update is a sign of English language progress to make it easier.Another common word that has already changed to an easier spelling is the word music.This word used to be spelled as musick.This update reportedly happened as a result of Noah Webster’s dictionary in the past 200 years.Such updates are often the result of common misspellings by users of the English language.It is possibly an update made by the majority.If the majority tire of a challenging spelling,it appears to change.
Many issues are a result of a difference in spelling of British and American English.The American spelling is generally a more modern update and the British spelling is apparently slower to change.The amount of words can be surprising and there are different ways to spell the same words in different dictionaries.The use of the letter “L” doubled in certain words is one example.In American English the word dialed is spelled with one “L” and in British English the word is spelled as dialled.This would be automatically corrected one way or the other by a program such as Microsoft Word,depending on which dictionary the software is using.
