British English or American English?

[paul318]

I only found out about this website yesterday, and have been spending time trying to see exactly how it works, and what the requirements are. I thought it wise to try and understand how it works before I jump in.

The question I have is regarding whether CC has a preference for American English over British English. As I am sure you are aware; there are differences. This is particularly true when it comes to spelling. I am British, so obviously write in British english. Would I need to write my articles in American english in order to get them accepted by CC?

Hi Paul and welcome to CC

I'm also British and write in British English...CC accept either American or British, as long as the piece is consistent throughout.

That's the theory!

I just had an article rejected and the message was that I should spell "grovelling" as "groveling".

I usually write in British English and "grovelling" is correct but rejected by the editor.

Anyone else experienced similar?

Human editors. I' m Canadian and I recognize the suggested spelling as correct.
