Document Summary

Despite the hybrid nature of our spelling roots there are some general spelling rules that. Canadians seem to accept: like americans we prefer ize/yze endings such as criticize and analyze - like the. British we prefer -ce ending instead of -se such as defence and offence. We double the "l"s at the end of words when adding a suffix such as travelled/rivalled/medallist. When oxford gives alternative spellings (amok/amuck and judgment/judgement) use the spelling listed first - when the spelling of a common-noun element of a proper name differs from cp style use the spelling favored by the subject. The cp ignores symbols and unnecessary punctuation in corporate or other names or translates them into accepted punctuation if necessary - ex: "n sync not *nsync, mamma mia not. Cp style is -our not -or and other such words or more than one syllable in which the u is not pronounced.
