Watch out for common Americanisms.
Use the following:

  • Organise and recognise (rather than organize and recognize)
  • Colour, behaviour, (with a u) counselling and counsellor (two lls)
  • Targeted and targeting (one t)
  • Ageing (not aging)
  • Wellbeing not well-being.

There are some exceptions, for example if you use:

  • specific research-based terminology, for example self-actualizing.
  • the title of an American or international organisation, company and so on, for example ABB Corporate Research Center, World Health Organization (although this is sometimes spelled Organisation in different publications)
  • the title of a publication where the original spelling uses a US format.

Where there is no distinction between US and Australian but two ways to spell the same word, use one consistently.

  • No labels
