Oct 15, 2023 at 16:23 comment added FreeMan Forgive me, @DavidPostill. I know the British add a lot of "u" to words we Americans don't and they reverse the "er" to "re" in many places. Or, maybe, we Americans dropped the "u" and reversed the "re"... I didn't bother to look up the spelling to see if it was legit.
