19、 school in the late 1970s and it was very divided (分 离 的) socially. There were popular, attractive (有吸引力的) kids, and the rest of us. Everybody in that high school took Cobbs classes.

A recent examination of the two kinds of English language shows that publications (出版物) now largely use the American version (版本), or spell

25、ing forms, changing words like “centre” for “center”after the 1880s. The charts (图表) shown on Steemit were made using Google Ngram Viewer, and show the usage trends (使用趋势) of many words between 1800 and 2000. In the charts, American spelling is shown in blue, and the British version is shown in red.

26、 Among many words, including “grey” and “flavour,”British English can be seen going down around 1880, when American English began to cross into wider use. Since then, English-language publications have preferred “gray” and “flavor.” And although there were some falls and rises in use over the years,

27、 the American versions of these words have remained more popular. The American way of spelling has continued to grow in usage over the years, with “liter ( 升)” passing “litre” around 1900, and “center” becoming the more common choice over “centre” in 1913. “1913 marked a turning point in the usage o

29、ame time, use of the spelling “airplane”increased quickly over“aeroplane.”At the time, the word “fiber” was also quickly becoming more popular than its British version. But, one word was unfamiliar to either the British or Americans “gaol.”This early form of “jail (监狱)”has lost its popularity over t
