Goodness, what was up with Skylar lately? She used to be early for all her classes and while she wasn't arriving late, she was arriving with barely anytime to get settled before the Professor started the lesson. This was so unlike her and the fourth year had to wonder if this was going to be the remainder of her Hogwarts education. No, no, she just needed to get a new system down. Her classes and subject matter was getting more challenging, so that just meant she needed revise her study timetables.
And it seemed the topic of choice today was American English versus British English, to which Skylar felt grateful for Brent and Felicity right about now, because of what she'd already learned from them and there was still much more. They were referring to spelling differences first, which meant while chips and fries referred to the same thing as she recalled from her summer lunch, they were different words, so that didn't count, did it?
Someone mentioned the U added to certain words, like honour and favour. And Etta mentioned colour and Katherine mentioned the gray versus grey.
Raising her hand, once she finally had an example, Skylar spoke up, "The thing with American English compared to British English is that American English spelling simplifies things and its very pronunciation based. British English prefers the original spelling, so like the word 'cheque', referring to examining something in order to determine its accuracy or quality, is spelled c-h-e-c-k with American English because that's how they sound it out, but it's c-h-e-q-u-e with British spellers." And that was way more information than she intended. Alright, Brent. Felicity. You two should be proud!
