Soooo I went on Google and made a search with the word cancelled to find out was was the right way,
and the second hit was [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
But was original from here Razz [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

A forum where someone asked what the right spelling was and I found some funny posts further down the thread.

I read a lot as a child, and most of the material my mother had was from Germany or England,
so I grew up with English English (not sure how to say that, lol). My mom always called it the Queen's English.
Well, I remember in school I was actually marked wrong for spelling certain words the English way.
Such as behaviour, colour, grey vs. gray, centre, metre, etc...

I never understood how the teacher could mark my answers as wrong (unless it was a spelling test and I knew the exact spelling they were looking for).
When I asked her about it, she replied, you're American, so I expect you to use the American language.
The next paper I handed in really upset her. She brought it to me and demanded in a very frustrated tone,
"What is this gibberish on your paper?" and I told her, "Oh, it's American... Lakota to be exact.
My mother is half Sioux." Needless to say I got an "F", but it was worth it. Twisted Evil

I used to have a friend from London.
We were talking on the phone one day and he told me he went out with friends the night before and really got "pissed".
Oh dear! I asked why he was pissed (angry) and he said because they were out partying and they all got pissed (drunk).

We went back and forth, each of us getting more confused by the minute, until we realized we were speaking different Englishes!
I did the same mistake a few years back but I heard that something was off because of the sentence he put it in, but still xD

The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will
be the official language of the European Union rather than German, which was the other possibility.

As part of the negotiations, the British Government conceded that English spelling had some room for
improvement and has accepted a 5- year phase-in plan that would become known as "Euro-English".

In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c". Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy.
The hard "c" will be dropped in favour of "k". This should klear up konfusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter.
There will be growing publik enthusiasm in t he sekond year when the troublesome "ph" will be replaced with "f".
This will make words like fotograf 20% shorter.

In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where! more komplikated changes are possible.
Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling.
Also, al wil agre that the horibl mes of the silent "e" in the languag is disgrasful and it should go away.

By the 4th yer people wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" with "z" and "w" with "v".

During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords kontaining "ou" and after ziz fifz yer, ve vil hav a reil sensibl riten styl.
Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi tu understand ech oza. Ze drem of a united urop vil finali kum tru.

Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking German like zey vunted in ze forst plas.

Feel free to go through all the posts on that forum, you will have a fun time reading it =)
