Canceled or Cancelled? - GoFuckYourself.com

absix · 02-04-2008, 06:41 AM

Your subscription was canceled.
Your subscription was cancelled.

Which one is correct? If both are, which would you use?

Damn english

Bojangles · 02-04-2008, 06:43 AM

Either work. I would go with two L's.

viki · 02-04-2008, 06:43 AM

I think both are correct but I used canceled.

polish_aristocrat · 02-04-2008, 06:44 AM

when in doubt about spelling a word, use google

google the two versions and then most likely the more popular is the correct one

edit: cancelled would be the one here using this example

"got cancelled" Results 1 - 10 of about 379,000
"got canceled" Results 1 - 10 of about 157,000

Been there, done that. But Google is not necessarily always "right", so I thought I'd ask.

Damn english

Depends if you no longer have your subscription... If that is the case, then they are BOTH Correct...
If however your subscription is still active, then the are BOTH wrong...

polish_aristocrat · 02-04-2008, 06:48 AM

Results 1 - 10 of about 401 for "Your subscription was cancelled."

Results 1 - 8 of 8 for "Your subscription was canceled".

cancelled wins

CurrentlySober · 02-04-2008, 06:51 AM

Actually, if in doubt, use 'Terminated'

absix · 02-04-2008, 06:53 AM

I gave "Your subscription was ..." as an example...

I just wanna know which one to use when I email a customer that the subscription/membership is cancelled/canceled.

canceled is American English, whereas cancelled is British.
Depends on which version you choose. Just be consistent.

Holly · 02-04-2008, 07:04 AM

I use "canceled".

SomeCreep · 02-04-2008, 07:26 AM

Both are correct.

Enemator · 02-04-2008, 07:31 AM

Both forms are fine.

I think that's why he was asking. He's not a native English speaker, so even though both are correct, I assume he was trying to find out which one is the most common.

justsexxx · 02-04-2008, 07:45 AM

I have the same with colour or color...

Spicoli · 02-04-2008, 07:51 AM

how about, moooo money mofo, r fuck off.

or either according to these guys

Colour is used in UK; Color is used in US.

Cancelled is used in UK; Canceled is used in the US.

Either would be correct depending on the reader.

Same thing with neighbor/neighbour, flavor/flavour, behavior/behaviour, etc. In the U.S., we use "or". You may notice that the Brits, Canadians, and Aussies on here use "our". We don't have that extra "u".

Check/cheque is another. Americans use the first one.

I also notice spelled/spelt on here a lot.

Paco, of Large Cash. · 02-04-2008, 08:33 AM

Although both are accepted, or now correct, the traditional spelling is cancelled!

It's the same as colour, flavour etc et cetera! Many English words were butchered by Americans.

If you use color, I suggest sticking with your accepting the incorrect form and use canceled.

I often use cancelled -- the double L!

nikki99 · 02-04-2008, 10:21 AM

damn english indeed

kristin · 02-04-2008, 10:29 AM

Both are right, but I use cancelled.

The Ancient Romans could say the same about many Roman words and the British.

Language evolves.

carol.prime · 02-04-2008, 11:17 AM

i've been using the 'cancelled' ever since.

florin · 02-04-2008, 11:32 AM
