WTF is the spelling for cancelled... I always spelled it with two 'L's, but spell checker says no, one 'L'...

My whole life crashes before my eyes...

 

[dighn]

looks like both are acceptable

I use two L's too

AFAIK, either is acceptable.

KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lol...I misread what you wrote, and thought you were telling me I misspelled 'two' as 'too'

 

[Ronstang]

It can be spelled either way according to the free dictionary so you both are correct.

 

[0roo0roo]

[wahoyaho]

[Eli]

Weird, I didn't know that.

I spell it with two L's.

Only recently switched from Mozilla(no Spell checker) to Firefox(spell checker). Quite often I find myself going "WTF? over its' questioning my spelling. I dunno, maybe I don't spell as well as I thought? :shrug;

Canceled in American english, cancelled in the Queen's english.

FF does not seem to recognize British spelling. it highlights "colour" as a typo!!

Boycott FF :|

It has different Packs for spelling. I use the Canadian pack and "colour" is not flagged with it. You are probably using the default US English pack.

I remember trying to find any place where I could configure the spell checker and didn't see any. Guess I'll check it out again.

Don't recall exactly how I found it, but if you goto: Tools/Add-ons/Extensions/Get Extensions you'll probably find different Language Packs.

I spell it cancelled as well. One L looks weird to me.

 

[edro]

English is stupid. Swahili is where it's at.

Same!

I didn't realize how many words I spelled wrong. It's actually not many, but some of them were hard habits to break.

i used to spell, receive 'recieve' and finally corrected my spelling after FF caught it multiple times. Thank you FF
