All About Freinds… Spelling Trivia

May 9th, 2008 by admin

freinds, freindFirst of all, I’m having very strong doubts that “Freinds” is a misspelling. I think, this is the actual real spelling of the word.. well, at least to the location it is being used for - United Kingdom (where Arlo Gilbert was raised! Sorry I have to bring that Freind of mine out).

Freinds

First, the word ‘freinds’ or ‘freind’ apparently is the correct spelling for the US/English term for ‘Friends’ in the United Kingdom.

It’s like the word ‘program’ and ‘programme’ or like ‘ageing’ versus ‘aging’ (the latter is preferred by Brits).

There are a handful more example of words like that like the following:

  • artefact or artifact
  • ensure or insure
  • dependant or dependent
  • and or course Friends and Freinds

So the next time you see a ‘Freind’ or ‘Freinds‘ used in a sentence, keep in mind that the one who use that word could be from United Kingdom.

Now, I wonder how did they spell the number one sit com series ever! FREINDS?!
