Writing is difficult because you can’t use any word
that comes to your mind. It could mean something else to someone and so you
have to be particular about what words you use when you are thinking
to write for everyone in general.
Here are our encounters:
» Learnt or Learned
» Advice or Advise
» Humor or Humour
» Human Resources Mgmt or Human Resource Mgmt
» Career Adviser or Career Advisor
»
And there are many more...
Most of these words have to do with
American English and the UK English. People also say it is the American convention
versus what’s in use by the rest of the world.
As a blogger we write for people
across the globe and so we avoid sticking to one convention. We look for synonyms or we change the sentence. Many times we altogether
avoid using such words. Writing takes a turn when people write the same word in
different ways in the same language. That’s funny but that’s how it is after
all.
