Well, in the "American" dictionary we use as the official source for Scrabble play, both night/nite color/colour realize/realise are good - though the s version is considered British as is the "our" ending . But night/nite is just a modern cutseyism(I just invented this word)
We get a lot of "that's not a word" from non Scrabble pro's - and many atrocities are duly noted but accepted for competitive play. elevator/lift is quite another matter - not much to do with spelling, actually :) but certainly a signal that the person who was writing to you was from one place or another. ann Thibouille wrote: >I think those are nice example but they do not generate any buzz in my brain. > >Variations like Elevator/Lift are more notable and Through / Thru is >like touching Reset button of my computer.
