Merriam-Webster’s social media today had this magnificent post:
Why is it ‘cancelled’ in the U.K. but ‘canceled’ in the U.S.?
Because we gave them that ‘L’ in 1776.
Good one!
Like when my uncle said, in a SERMON after JFK won the election:
The state has changed its name from from “Massachusetts” to “Machusetts” because the a-s-s went to Washington. Of course, he meant donkey.
