Usage Note: Many words, such as
honor, vapor, and
labor, are usually spelled with an
-or ending in American English but with an
-our ending in British English. The preferred spelling of
glamour, however, is
-our, making it an exception to the usual American practice. The adjective is more often spelled
glamorous in both American and British usage.
