spelling variations
Different written forms
Spelling variations are different ways of writing the same word: *color* and *colour*, *gray* and *grey*, *artifact* and *artefact*.
These typically reflect British versus American conventions, though some variations are simply acceptable alternatives within the same dialect.
Both spelling variations appear in published works.
