Which one do you use, and do you think you're better off than me for using the correct one?
I personally use 'Traveller'

I think that's just the one "l"... the rest I'd use two for.

14. The pleasure is mine. What I meant was where you live. |

"Mould" seems awkward to Americans.

12. According to Microsoft Word's spell check, traveller is incorrect. |
|
And the word "traveller" is not in the dictionary.

13. It is traveler, but it often confuses me - also worshiper and worshiped. |
|
I don't know why these don't get the doubled final consonant, but they don't.
I find it annoying, but the rules are the rules.
