Er...no. In English it is Travelled. Some foreigners, who speak a hybridised, bastardised and almost incoherent variation of English, do tend to mispell words, but the English, whose language it is, would never spell travelled with one L! Hope that helps.

Now there's irony. The language has travelled so much, that misspellings of travel/travelled occur.

Yes, but again it's Cancelled in British English. The US variation has one less L.

Or, to give it it's correct name, English. The clue is in the name. English comes from England. Any other variation should be prefixed, US English, Australian English, etc. But English is English!
