Canceled or Cancelled?

I used to hate seeing or writing this word. Every time I went to write it I would stare at the word and wonder if that was the correct spelling. Recently I had noticed the closings on the bottom of the televisions screen spelling the word as both canceled and cancelled. That definitely didn’t make sense. Why was it that one school was canceled and another was cancelled? Then one of my friends on Facebook made a post, saying if you are going to use the word, then you use it consistently. This sparked me to find which one was actually correct. What I found was that both spelling are correct. Canceled is the American version and cancelled is British. One of my professors sent me an e-mail canceling class this week, but used it with two l’s. For myself, I will stick with the American form of canceled.
