Ways to tell them apart:
- Specialty is the preferred term in American English, while speciality is more common in British English.
- Both words refer to a specific area of expertise or focus, often related to a profession or field.
- Remember that specialty fits well into American-centric contexts and texts, much like color without the u.
- Speciality can be remembered because it contains ial, similar to dialect, emphasizing its usage in different English dialects.
- If writing for a British audience or with British conventions, speciality maintains consistency with other British spellings.
