I'm actually starting to doubt my knowledge of the spelling of the word cancelled, but we spell it with 2 L's in the UK don't we?

Just that I've noticed when asking Siri to cancel something you get a "Canceled" stamp across the screen?

Am I just being an idiot here?
 
Thanks for your comments. I just felt it never looked right. I'm happy to have been proven wrong.

Cheers
 
I always get people asking me if I am from the UK as I tend to spell things in that format here in the US. I'm not from the UK, nor have I ever been there, so I don't know why I spell stuff like I do. I think the UK version of most spellings looks better.
 
Could be spelled either but the correct spelling is canceled

I just find this funny...if it can be spelled either way, and is listed both ways in the dictionary, that means both are correct. You can't really say it could be spelled either way but only one of them is correct. ;)
