OP I am an employee of Canada Post and for years I have seen the use of despatch or dispatch to describe the act of sending mail from one location or depot to another. I have not been able to discern which is the correct word. Can somebody settle this issue and do differing uses between American usage and "The Queen's English" come into play?
