caroLLing

"The carollers go carolling, singing carols." or "The carolers go caroling, singing carols."?

"Carolling" has two L's in British English but one in American, does it really matter?
To many people, English be it American or not is the same, a little bit of different spellings here and there is nothing. American and British English are just like two different families in the same kingdom. And to have spellings of words from both American and British spellings in the same sentence? No big deal... A lot of people have even become unaware of the differences in spellings of so many words.

Should I make a big fuss when someone spells "carolling" with a single L? Nothing against American English and those who use it, at all. But I believe students from a government school should know how to use British English, at least as long as he or she is still a student in a government school, or any other school that uses British English. And for those who use American English as a medium of study, practise American English. Speaking of which, so many people today do now even know the difference between "practise" and "practice"(in American English, it's all just practice) in British English.

Never mind, the government schools in Malaysia adopt British English as second language and a study medium, probably because Malaysia was once a colony under the British rule. For whatever reason, the public school students here use British English. So should these students be aware of the differences between the language they should use and the American alternative?


For those who may have misunderstood, sorry if I was confusing. Haha...
It's not a crime to use American English, neither will I persecute those who use it. I am just trying to voice my opinion on English as a language, a language that deserves respect.
