When it comes to the words listed above, it’s a matter of preference. Either spelling (with or without “-st”) is fine, unless your teacher or editor explicitly instructs you to choose one over the other.

FYI, click HERE for a list of other words that are spelled differently in British and American English.

We hope this answers your questions.

Cheers.

There are many words that are spelled/spelt differently in British English and American English.

Some people dislike that such differences in spelling exist. We disagree. We like that “gray is the color of my pajamas” and “grey is the colour of my pyjamas.”
