mezebel: u are most incorrect,nothing like british and america in dis context...check my correction above!!! I just love people who have no idea what they're saying, but still speak with confidence and authority Let me explain: Both of your definitions for "centre" and "center" are valid. HOWEVER, your overall "explanation" is terribly wrong. You have explained both spellings by flip-flopping between British and American forms of the SAME word, but then ascribing to each one a different contextual meaning. e.g i live in the U.S and we write Checks, while you write Cheques. SAME word, just American and British. This means their "meanings" are the same when used in the same context. What you have managed to do in your "correction" is say something like this: "A check is when you sign a check, and give it to someone, while a cheque is when you take a cheque to the bank and cash it." Both statements are correct, BUT DO NOT amount to a difference in their meanings. You have only taken two forms of the same word (Br & Am), and explained both in different contexts, while passing it off as a difference. in my primary school debate voice: I hope say i don convince you, and not confuse you say "center" and "centre" na American and British forms of the same thing respectively . Thank you. 2 Likes |

For those of you who are students, you can use both words, center and centre to confuse examiners. Just use them up and down, I bet you, the examiner will score you very high. |

Damlesky: can't you just check your dictionary why is everybody opening thread just to ask silly questions mtcheeew Why go to school? Why don't u buy all the books and read at home? Inferiority complex is when u are pissed off with people who don't do thing's your own way, its also a wicked mindset. Asking questions have never been classified as a crime so why the frustration and anger? Are u a sadist? 2 Likes |

AdeniyiA: Stop feeding ppl wrong information. "Meter" a device for measurement; like you said, can also calibrate electrical quantities, e.g Ohmmeter; which of course does not render it's unit in meters but rather, Ohms and also an Ammeter; which calibrates values in Amperes (or amps, for short) Basically, what we are looking at here are two variants of English Language; as offered by the Britons and the Americans . . . We follow the same semantics as our colonial masters. U be big time olodo, and e dey pain me ga'aannn 1 Like |

"between" and "middle" do not mean the same tin. between: used to compare 2 things .. .e.g Between James and John, who is friendlier ? Middle: to denote the centre of sometin . . . e.g. John stood in the middle !! It should rather be "in-between" Dumb skull!!! 1 Like |

One is British and the other is American. Indont know why America always prove stubborn and superior. Why would they have to reframe British English, instead of having their own traditional language? All products made in America are coded in American English, while the ones in British or British colonised nations ate coded in British English. See this.. Bank Check or Bank Cheque |

Horlufemi: There is English (US) and English (UK). They have different spellings for some words that mean the same. In Nigeria please use UK English in formal writing. I guess we should even have English (Nigeria) sef. he is lacking in brilliance.i would have ignored this quietly but you committed the same error of presumptive judgement like i did. His answer was correct but incomplete... yet it doesn't make him less brilliant than you are. with respect due, even your monicker sayz it all..Yoruba (US) abi
