Donna, can you spell?

In the past I have received several messages regarding the spelling of "TRAVELLER". Yes, my American friends, in countries other than yours, people actually spell words differently.  Traveller/Traveler would be one of those words.   Some spelling fanatics in the USA are unaware that Canadians, the British and, in fact, the rest of the English-speaking world actually spell words differently than the US way and have demanded I correct my spelling.    

For those of you who were not aware of this, now you are.  I don't point this out to be mean; I am simply trying to share something that was obviously not well known before.  And perhaps I will also be saving you the embarrassment of sending me a message advising me of bad spelling only to learn that you are wrong.

Should anyone have difficulty translating Canadian and British English to American English in the future, may I direct you to a fantastic web site that will help you.  Dave VE7CNV's Truly Canadian Dictionary of Canadian Spelling will help you with any future documents that you think are poorly spelled, eh. 

By the way, I don't write the reviews, so please don't lecture me on the often painful-to-read grammar in the reviews. Just blast me when I mess up trying to construct coherent sentences elsewhere on the site.
