Says all those countries in the world that use English as an official language. Although, to be fair, English is not an official language in the USA!

Woow! Too many times I've seen announcements in some establishments like :"Se habla español" XD But well, what do they really own that's not imported (and then hybridized and bastardized ;P ) from another country?

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.

If you think that's bad (and it is after all only an Americanism) try Welsh: the first letter of the word changes depending on the ending of the previous word in order to make it sound better. And be a lot harder to look up in any dictionary...

Repeat after me: "c, p, t changes to g, b, d; d, b, g changes to double-d, f, dim". I still remember that from more than 50 years ago. But I never knew why Ceri Ellis didn't start with t, p, c. Weird innit?
