    OK is not an abbreviation–it's a separate spelling and is in fact the ORIGINAL spelling, so it definitely fits the parameters. OK came first, with "okay" later forming as a variant of that, and the original term was derived from an intentional misspelling of "all correct." Both have been accepted in English as variant spellings of the word since the 1800s, along with a third variant, "O.K." All are accepted usage in American English, and none of them are abbreviations.

              Aluminum and Aluminium are spelled slightly differently but both are correct.

                Nope. Not on the list. I'm not talking of
                Brit v American
                spelling. I'm talking about American English. Sorry, I guess I should have made that clear.

                  You've only gotten ONE so far:
                  Ketchup v Catsup.
                  Come on you chuckleheads, I know you can do better than that.

                    Whiskey / Whiskey
                    I believe you meant
                    Whiskey / Whisky
                    . There is a difference, however.
                    Generally:
                    American Whiskey
                    Irish Whiskey
                    Scotch Whisky
                    Canadian Whisky
                    Yeah, I know my booze. Bourbon Whiskey is the best, IMO.

                                English and American ways of spelling words are different but both correct and there are dozens of them.

                                  As I said earlier, this was not about Brit v Yank spelling. It was about Yank spelling only.
