This unit gave you an insight into some of the words that are spelled differently in American English dictionaries. Language is often seen as a powerful tool in terms of identity and it will come as no surprise that the move to distinguish American English from British English came when American won their independence. It serves as a reminder that history and language are ever intertwined. |

"Thank goodness for Spellzone during this remote learning phase. The site is easy for students to navigate independently and they're really enjoying the activities and spelling games. You get an awful lot for your money with Spellzone. Really reassuring is the very prompt response with helpdesk queries. I've very rarely needed the helpdesk, but when I have, the issue has been addressed and sorted within a very short time."
