Why is it ‘cancelled’ in the U.K. but ‘canceled’ in the U.S.? Because we gave them that L in 1776.

Kidding- both are acceptable. FWIW Noah Webster’s 1806 dictionary has ‘cancelled’, but in his 1828 edition the word is spelled as ‘canceled.’

'Canceled' or 'cancelled'?

One L or two?

The flag of the United States of America has undergone many changes since its inception. From the first official flag in 1777 to the current version of the flag (which has been in place since 1960), changes to the American flag have mirrored the evolution of the country. 🧵⬇️

🇺🇸 Noah Webster’s spelling reform was based on his combined vision of logic and aesthetics. Thankfully, the publick readily accepted many of these changes. 🇺🇸

The ‘dog days’ of summer get their name due to their association with the Dog Star, Sirius, found in the constellation Canis Major. The first visible rising of Sirius occurs during the hot stretch from early July to early September. Woof.
