Ways to tell them apart:
Labeled
is the American English spelling, while
labelled
is the British English counterpart.
Remember that words ending in
-led
often follow this pattern of American and British variations in spelling.
Despite the different spellings, both words have the same pronunciation.
The double
l
in
labelled
matches the pattern seen in other British English words like
travelled
or
cancelled.
US versions typically drop extra letters present in the UK versions, which can help you remember
labeled
for American English.
