Spelling

Many questions related to spelling can be resolved simply by referring to a dictionary or using a good computer spellchecker. But there are also issues that require more careful consideration and that cannot be resolved automatically. This section provides recommendations on the general conventions applicable to spelling, the use of British or American English and the features of Oxford spelling, which is the UB’s preferred spelling system. It also explains the consequences of using one spelling system or another (for example, ligatures and consonant doubling) and refers to considerations that are related to spelling in different ways, such as diacritics, italics and hyphens.
