"Canceled" instead of "Cancelled"

[c14nhl]

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?

I think it can be spelled either way...

Just looked it up on dictionary.com...

Could be spelled either but the correct spelling is canceled

The correct US spelling is canceled. The correct UK spelling is cancelled.

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.

The correct US spelling is canceled. The correct UK spelling is cancelled.

For some reason I always thought it was the other way around

American vs. British

canceled vs. cancelled
traveling vs. travelling

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.

Yeah but if u have a spelling test make sure its spelled right lol.
