Canceled vs. Cancelled
June 7th, 2009 by FuzzTagged as: free grammar lessons, I am a complete NERD.
I know it looks funny, but the proper spelling of the past tense of the word “cancel” is “canceled.” “Cancelled” is acceptable, but the one-L version is the right way (unless you’re British – then use two Ls).
If you are, indeed, an American, and you don’t spell flavor as “flavour” or color as “colour,” then use one L.
Carry on.
