    In Victorian times the words were often spelled the same way in the UK....it doesn't appear there were hard and fast rules.

    Fall is one Anericanism I dont mind ( although I love the word autumnal).
    Chores somehow sounds harder work then our mere jobs too.

    I raised this subject recently with an American correspondent of mine for that very reason - autumnal is such a lovely word that I was worried they were missing out on it. She put my mind at rest:
