Hey. You appear to be from the US as you use the american spelling of travelling. As DW is a UK show, we use UK spelling, so traveling is incorrect, hence why it is underlined in red when editing a page. We use travelling, so please don't change it to traveling. Thanks.

Lest you think that admin don't notice small edits, let me say '''thank you''' for knowing where to put a damned period. :) If only more editors around here could make delightfully useful edits like the one you just made at [[Martin Clunes]]. And for the record, I have no idea what The Thirteenth Doctor was on about, above. Whether you put a single or double ''l'' on travelling is correct '''in both strands of English'''. It's more ''common'' to see ''traveling'' in Britain and ''travelling'' in the US, but both spellings are valid alternatives in both localities, at least according to ''both'' the OAD and OED. Computer spellcheckers, of course, aren't smart enough to recognize alternative spellings. So use whichever spelling you want. Just use the ''same'' spelling across an entire article. And ''please'' keep contributing. Your work is clearly solid. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}} | |||
