Spelling Variants

Definition: Spelling variants refer to alternate ways of writing a word without changing its pronunciation or meaning. These variations occur as a result of regional dialects, historical changes, or personal preferences.

Examples:

Noun:

1. In British English, "colour" is a spelling variant of "color" in American English.

2. The spelling variant "traveling" is commonly used in North America, while "travelling" is preferred in British English.

Example Sentences:
