With rare exceptions, Standard Englishes use either American or British spelling systems, or a mixture of the two (such as in Canadian English and Australian English spelling). British spellings usually dominate in Commonwealth countries.

Famous quotes containing the word spelling:

    “Some let me make you of the heartless words.
    The heart is drained that, spelling in the scurry
    Of chemic blood, warned of the coming fury.
    By the sea’s side hear the dark-vowelled birds.”
    —Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    “My spelling is Wobbly. It’s good spelling but it Wobbles, and the letters get in the wrong places.”
    —A.A. (Alan Alexander)

    “As to spelling the very frequent word though with six letters instead of two, it is impossible to discuss it, as it is outside the range of common sanity. In comparison such a monstrosity as phlegm for flem is merely disgusting.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
