Victoria is always with a "c".  I have never seen it in the U.S with a  "k".\nJason is without the "e".\nChristina is mostly spelled with a "C", but I have seen it both ways.  (I think the Kristina's with a "K" were of Greek origin.)\nThe only Louisa I have ever come across is Louisa May Alcott, the author.  The rest have been "Louise".

they're all correct, just different forms of english, the canadian way of spelling words is slightly different then the american way example color and colour, and the other examples you mentioned among a lot of others

I expect it would have to be a name from the most populated country n the world which is China, I believe. Therefore names such as John are probably not in the running unless you are referring only to the English speaking and western world. Some sites say that Muhammad is the most common name in the world. \n\nI hope this helps.

Actually, Canadians spell more in the American way than in the British way.  I am Canadian and also spell "labor", "favorite", and "realize".  When we were in school, we were taught that either spellings were correct.  For example "color/colour" or "labor/labour".  I just checked my Canadian calender to see what they had for "Labor Day".  It is spelled the American way (Labor Day).

There are tons, especially if you take the differences between British and American spelling into account.\n\nHonor v honour, vigor v vigour, etc.\nThey also use "z" less frequently than we do, using "s" instead.  Sympathize v sympathise or colorize v colourise.

raquet would be the original English spelling, racket is the American twist on it. But, both are acceptable.

My guess is that you're looking primarily at people writing online. AOLspeak/chatspeak is not representative of American spelling ability. Note also that this is rampant in the UK and Australia as well. I've such things in French and German too. There's an annoying perception that spelling just doesn't matter online, and it's not just in America.\n\nAdditionally, however, English is a hybrid between Anglo-Saxon (Old English, or 'Englisc') and Old French (Latin-based). Because of this, there's a lot of inconsistency in the language. Also, since most of us don't study Latin or Anglo-Saxon, we don't know the roots from which the words are formed.\n\nTo add on, the above answers complaining about your grammar and such are wrong in that:\n* 'Spelt' is a word. It's chiefly British, but is a perfectly acceptable alternate to 'spelled'\n* It's not 'grammer', but 'grammar'. Common mistake they should have caught while whining about your other minor errors and non-errors. 9They also failed to capitalise 'English'.)\n* 'Spellings' is a plural noun. The spelling of a word can be right or wrong, and the spellings of words can be right or wrong.\n\n(Yeah, Shawn's answer was just awful.)

People are lazy and indifferent. Chatrooms certainly don't help.\n\nI'm from England, and I think it's ridiculous that I'm tested on English by a bunch of Americans (the SAT, the Regents, the GRE). I'm also sick of professors correcting me when I spell "defence" with a "c" or "speciality" with an "i."\n\nThose words are SUPPOSED to be spelled that way, you dumb college professors!\n\nI don't have a problem with Americans spelling "speciality" without an "i" or "colour" without a "u," but don't expect me to do the same.

Well for sure, if the word starts with an X by itself (such as X-Men or X-ray), it will be pronounced "eks."  I've actually heard words like Xavier pronounced both ways, and I live in the US.  Some words beginning with X are always pronounced like a Z, for example xylaphone.  I think it's just us Americans trying to make things more complicated than they have to be.  :)

There are two spellings for these words. The ones with the 'z's are from the US and were changed to more closely match the sound sometime during the 1950s.\nSingaporean book writers have been influenced by both British and American spelling over the years and tend to use a mixture of the two.
