Americans spell words in a different fashion to us in the UK. They don't include the letter 'u' in words such as 'colour', 'favour', 'honour' etc. They swap around the 'r' and 'e' in words such as 'centre', 'fibre', 'metre' etc. They use an 'i' where we use a 'y' - in 'tyre' for example and completely miss out letters in a word such as 'axe'.
