Center-centre
By Shelly

Clip to ScrapBook   
Kim, just thought you would like to know that in Canada center is also spelled centre. The United States is the only country that actually spells it center. Not sure why. In Canada we spell neighbor-neighbour, also color-colour, there are also a few others ones I can't think of right now. I think it is because Canada and Australia are original British colonies and use "proper" English spellings.
