Jewelry misspelled numerous times on this website

[somersethedge]

who do the american's think that their spelling is always the right spelling.... this is an english site NOT an american one

I thought it was a mis-spelling too and dropped them a note .. That was today actually and they said their IT dept is has been working on removing the British spelling.
I am in Florida and I hear the word mispronounced all the time .. I have heard it pronounced JEW-LER-RY by jewelers as well. In fact I have even heard it pronounced jew-ler-ry in jewelry store commercials.

I certainly hope they are NOT removing English spelling from a British Site.
Not concerned if they change to American spelling on the US site, but NOT on the UK one..

I've already replied to the original post (didn't realise it was so long ago!) but I've been thinking. What is the blinkin' difference? We all KNOW what we're looking for whether it is JEWELLERY OR JEWELRY or any other way you want to spell it. I checked it on Google last night and put in the American spelling - it asked me if I meant JEWELLERY!!!!

But I agree with GOTHICINA - I seriously hope they do NOT change the spelling on the BRITISH site! Let's face it, the spelling originated here in the UK - other countries use their OWN interpretation of it and that's fine. Maybe it is easier to spell but WHY should WE in the UK have to change OUR way of spelling to please other countries?

England is really making a mess of the English language !! <smile> JUST KIDDING !!!!

The person who replied to me said they are fixing ONLY the USA site. British spelling on the UK site remains the same. For most words, I prefer British spellings ... I especially like the "re" ending better than "er."

I don't like the sound of Jew-LER-y though ..

OMG, I just put jewelry in my titles and U.S. buyers find my store. Also I think I read on a forum a while back that is you search ebid for the UK spelling the US jewelry comes up on the search as well.

I like it when there are two accepted spellings of a word. It gives me two chances to actually get the spelling right. lol

Rule # 1 .. The Brits are ALWAYS right..
Rule # 2 .. If the Brits are wrong, See ya in Boston Harbor!

Put the kettle on chum!

Geez! Y'all sure do talk funny. And drive on the opposite side of the road too.

I guess the above statement could be used by folks on both sides of the pond though.

Of course, it's none of my business if you call your convenience Lou while we call ours John as long as everyone gets it right when nature calls.

An we both use the expression Jack Sh*t!

But was it in the Loo or the John?

That list of rules is wrong anyway.What it should say is,
Rule # 1..The Brits are ALWAYS right.
Rule # 2..If the Brits are wrong,rule one applies.
