A logical first question in spell checking is "Which dictionary are we using?". And the truth is, this wiki has never actually decided on a standard. This is because most resources are in agreement about over 99% of words, anyway. The fact that we haven't chosen a particular dictionary as our standard really only means that we have to have a forum discussion about particular words in the case of conflict between resources, such as we did in the case of artefact vs. artifact. __TOC__ What we present to you here, instead of a single standard, are a wide variety of dictionaries and word comparison lists. All are excellent ways for you to begin or continue your education in British spelling:

The "mother" of all British English dictionaries, the OED has the disadvantage of not being free to everyone. Unless your local library subscribes to it, you'll have to pay to use it. Contact your librarian for info. * Longman's Dictionary of Contemporary English has a reasonable reputation and is entirely free. * The Cambridge Dictionary online is also wholly free. * Oxforddictionaries.com, not to be confused with the Oxford English Dictionary, offers a good overview of the basic differences between American and British English. * An excellent comprehensive list of US/UK differences * Not exactly a spelling guide, but a useful phrase translation list * TravelFurther.net's American-British dictionary is a less academic guide to inter-English difficulties If and when we decide on a definitive dictionary for this site, spellings in that dictionary will supersede any given on the above sites.
