Hi, Steve, if the book was printed in the U.K. then spelling
"travelling, travelled, and traveller" is correct in British usage.
Regards, Kim Friedman. P.S.: You may have already gotten a satisfactory
answer to your message at this late date, so it won't hurt my feelings
should you decide to delete this out of hand. K.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Spelling Errors?
I'm working on a book which has the words, "travellers" and "travelling"
spelled as I showed them here but Open Office Writer points them out as
being miss-spelled and indicates the correct spelling is with a single
'l' in both cases. I'm rather a poor speller at times so am a bit
unsure here. I'm assuming the spell check in OOo Writer is correct but
if these words are consistently miss-spelled throughout the book, Should
I fix them or should I leave them as being intended by the author? I
would normally not change intentional bad grammar if that was the
author's intent but what about words like these? I would tend towards
correcting these in this case.
What say you?
