The security man (with a security dog) started yelling at me because it s closed and leave the place because he don t want to give any information about loading. ( i was asking if it s the right adress). He was speaking very rudely (today). They should send him with the sheeps. Impolite.

Ok.

Are you taking a trip anytime soon? If so, where will you be traveling? Or is it travelling? How exactly do you spell this word?

The two words traveling and travelling can cause some confusion for those writers not exactly sure when to use which one. Are they just variations of the same word? Do they have different meanings? Do they function differently in a sentence?

In today s post, I want to address all of these questions so you will never again wonder or second-guess yourself, Is it travelling or traveling?

The Difference Between Travelling and Traveling





It was already too late; he knew they wouldn t be travelling far. The New Yorker

When the traveling pub is taken off a trailer and put together in a lot near Milwaukee and California avenues, it will boast 400 feet of bar space. Chicago Sun Times

They travelled 5,000 miles from Myanmar to place a plaque in Seagrim s native village of Whissonsett in eastern England. Washington Post

Under that analysis, completion of the mobility plan would result in about 35 million miles per day being traveled on L.A. surface streets in 2035. L.A. Times

You re probably still thinking, Okay, I still don t know how to use these words.

The difference between traveling vs. travelling isn t much of a difference at all, really.

In fact, the difference between them is entirely dialectal. There is no demonstrable difference of sense or function, meaning both words can be used interchangeably.

When to Use Travelling

Even though the only thing separating travelling and traveling is a dialectical difference, it is still important to keep your audience in mind when picking which word to use and when.







Now, if we look at the same two words over the same time period but limit our search to American print sources, the results completely flip.



There s actually a bigger gap between traveling and travelling in American English than there is in British English.

When to Use Traveling



I ve discussed the reason for the popularity of many shortened spellings in American English in other posts (cancelled/canceled comes to mind), but the basic reason stems back to Noah Webster himself.

He is usually credited with the shortening of many American spellings because in his original 1898 dictionary, he sought to simplify many British spellings he saw as unnecessary. This is where the British-American divide over words like color/colour came from.
