American and one "l". So, do you write "traveling" or "travelling"? With the double-ls, I feel obliged to read it with the accent on the second syllable.

Yes, UK spelling is "travelling". And with single-l, *I* feel obliged to read it as only two syllables in total, i.e. trave-ling. Such is the power of conditioning to our local norms ;-)

Yeah. Here (http://dictionary.reference.com/help/faq/language/s20.html)'s how I was taught back in the 60s & 70s.

That was extremely helpful.

Oddly, the science fiction role playing game is American, but is spelled "Traveller".
