Jewelry or Jewellery

How to spell jewelry or jewellery?
I write content for both GoGoPak.com (USA) and GoGoPak.ca (Canada) and to be honest, it's tiresome how many times a day I edit the word related to gemmed adornments! If you're a jeweler or jeweller, you'll understand completely.  

The Canadian spelling is jewellery, that's right 2 "L's". Whereas, the USA spelling is jewelry with 1 "L" and no "ery". Sometimes I forget as I get used to spelling it one way vs. the other. Sometimes, I feel my readers might think I've made a mistake. It's okay, I know the difference, I just work late a lot and begin to see double. Feel free to shoot me an email to correct any misspelling. I just googled misspelling by the way. For your knowledge, it's 2 "s's" 2 "l's".

Why does this matter?
Well at GoGoPak we make and sell jewelry/jewellery boxes. I just wanted share how many times a day I hit the back space button to correct a missspell. You are correct if you noticed 3 "s's"! See how easy it is to flub? Flub is a word, I just googled (as I do every day as much as I correct my spelling of jewellery/jewelry!).

FLUB

  1. botch or bungle (something)."she glanced at her notes and flubbed her lines"

Where is this conversation going?
Indeed it's a circuitous spelling direction but what I wanted to focus on was our new black embossed jewelry/jewellery boxes. Available at an incredible introductory price at just $45.00 per 100 boxes. Add luxurious hot-stamp printing to promote your brand. These boxes are made and hot-stamped at GoGoPak USA in Lockport, NY. They might say "jewelry" on the box. It's not a Flub :)
