Which organisation is known as the RCMP?
Correct answer: Royal Canadian Mounted Police

FaithfulReader, It's funny how many American people have a perception that their spelling is correct and that the English "added" letters or "changed" spelling to certain words, even though the language is called English and not American. There is a clue there....

FaithfulReader, UK and Canadian english doesnt ADD a u to some words American english takes away u
FaithfulReader
The USA uses the "z" and the UK uses the "s". The UK also adds a "u" to words like color (colour) or honor (honour), etc. It's all good!

mba555, organiSation is proper English. Organization is the Americanized and bastardised version if the word.!!!!

FaithfulReader, USA deletes "u" and uses "z". British (Oxford?) English is standard. American English is changed through usage. Happens often with distance. Parisien French vs. Quebecois in Canada for example.

ColonelSwak, and that’s why there needs to be a distinction between English and American English

Danrobilliard70, Not only the training HQ but the RCMP museum as well in Regina. I used to live a walking distance away from the museum. I had a good friend who used to work there while he was attending the University of Regina.

Guitarzan, ya it does we learn it that way in school
Sully Girl
FaithfulReader, exactly the language is English. Spelling phonetically, changing or dropping letters is a derivative therefore not original. In this case its called the Americanization or corruption of the Queen's English

FaithfulReader, the U.K. does not add u to honour or colour. Rather American english has removed it. All other english speaking countries include the u. Other particularities of american english vs. others are the words "program" vs. "programme" "ton" vs. "tonne" and of course the very American pronunciation of the last letter of the Alfabet as "zee" rather than the more common "zed".
Guitarzan
DiabolicalReturned, Canadian English does follow proper (British) spelling when it comes to
words like colour
Guitarzan
FaithfulReader, Canadians also use the letter " u" for words like colour. This is proper English. Unfortunately, US corruption of the English language has affected many ignorant Canadians. 🤨
Lifewithniels
FaithfulReader, you have that backwards. UK doesn't take anything away. The US takes letters away from the original English words. American English is also known as Simplified English.

my teacher (58 years old) served as an RCMP for 9 years, then a children's aid counciler, then a teacher.
MrNobody
I'm so used to both American & British English that I don't make a big deal about it. I have been caught using both spellings in the same essay & saying zee or zed in the same algebraic proof in math class. Oh well. But it's fun to watch y'all squabbling about it--especially Religion which I refuse to comment on.
CuteFluffySheepGirl
I feel bad for all the people in other countries who didn't get this question. For me: so easy
CuteFluffySheepGirl
FaithfulReader, actually in alberta we still spell it honor
