American English versus Australian English

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
• Learnt, not learned (e.g. "you will have learnt..."). Note that "learned" (pronouced learn-ed) is used as an adjective in Australian English (e.g. "a learned professor").

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.
