hesi Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 From Massey University website American vs. British spelling When writing assignments in New Zealand most lecturers will expect you to spell words in the British rather than the American fashion. Note however that some lecturers only insist on internal consistency: it should either have totally British spelling or totally American spelling. Ensure that your computer's spell-checker is set to the correct variety of English, or check in a good dictionary. The main differences between British and American spelling are as follows: -re vs. -er Words ending in -re in British English are usually written -er in American English.

Poisoned Dwarf Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 they may be planning to recall all the NZTR wall calendars with serious errors: Friday March 22 has gallops at Avondale and Tauranga, with only Canterbury racing on Sat March 23 ! ( other sources say Tauranga race on March 23 ) Only Saturday meet in the whole of NZ on July 27----at Levin. Calendar says Sunday 28 has Taumarunui meeting at Rotorua !!!!!!! Another big job for Tim Tam 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
