Variant spellings. For example, words ending in 'or' or 'our' such as savio(u)r, neighbo(u)r, harbo(u)r, etc. Generally the spelling of such words is different in Britain, Australia, Canada, South Africa, etc to the Webster's standard American spelling because those countries follow the spelling received from French rather than the Latin spelling adopted by Webster.
