| And I like travelling after a lot of, but travel expense or travelling expenses both seem fine to me but at the same time I prefer travelling expenses. To tell the truth, I hesitate a bit :D |

Hi Quoc
Apparently the British like to say "travelling expenses".
In American English it would be correct to say "travel expenses".

Dear teachers,
A job requires a lot of travel is told by Americans?
A job requires a lot of traveling is told by Britishes?
They're both the same meaning? Tung Quoc
PS: Can I use "Britishes" for "British people"?Is there "the" in front of "Americans" and " American people"?I say American or the American or Americans or the Americans or American people or the American people? |

Hi Quoc
I've written my corrections and answers in blue in the quote:

The job requires a lot of travel / traveling would be said by Americans? Yes
The job requires a lot of travelling would be said by "Brits"? Yes, but I assume the British would have no problem also using the word travel in this sentence. "the British" = "British people" = (the) "Brits" (informal)
Spelling difference: British English: travelling (the "L" is doubled) American English: traveling (the "L" is not doubled)
They're both the same meaning? Yes Tung Quoc
PS: Can I use "Britishes" for "British people"? NO
Is there "the" in front of "Americans" and " American people"? Americans = all of the American people in general
"the Americans" = usually means specific people, but could also mean the American people in general.
I say American only as an adjective
or the American Yes, one specific American person
or Americans or the Americans Americans = the American people
or American people possible, but awkward
or the American people possible, but not as commonly used as "Americans" ? |
