Spelling differences between British and American English

The podcast discusses the spelling variations between British and American English. While some spellings like 'analog' and 'enquire' have different forms in the two variants, others, such as 'colour' and 'neighbour,' are considered incorrect without the added 'u' in British English. The episode highlights that the influence of North American English has led to certain spellings being accepted in British English as well. Additionally, it mentions that when referring to computers and computing, it is acceptable to use the American English spelling of 'disc' as 'disk' in British English.
