The 'difference Between Traveling And Travelling' You Must Know! by BrainnewsNg(op): 10:20am On Feb 18, 2019
By Eyo Nse,

Have you been confused lately about this two words ‘Traveling And Travelling’? Worry no more, Brainnews is here and will expatiate to your understanding.

Traveling or travelling depends on where your audience is.

Traveling is the preferred spelling in the U.S, while Travelling is the preferred spelling in the UK or in the Commonwealth. This American-British spelling difference carries others forms like: traveled or travelled and traveler or traveller.

Those publications are written in British English, while the ones that use shorter spellings e.g; “traveled,” “flavor,” and “color” are written in American English. So the difference between “traveling” and “travelling” is really a variation of dialect. Both spellings are correct. Or, more precisely, neither one of them is wrong.

The United States is pretty much alone in using the shorter form. Canada and Australia generally follow the rules of British English, and that’s why Canadians and Australians can be fond of travelling, not traveling.

What you are saying in essence is there's no difference between the two words since both means the same thing? huh

I learned this two years ago.
I use either American English or British depending on my mood.
Most of my write ups are a mishmash of both styles due to laziness.
When I lived outside for a while though, I found submitting write ups a problem.
Here for Naija nobody send you.

OP needed to write the epistle so that next time you would understand that "U has to write" is bad English.

I'm not sure U know what "autocorrect" is or what it does but I'm quite sure U meant "bad grammar" and not "bad English"
