is it "travellers" or "travelers"? the spell check here says "travelers", but there is a company "travellers autobarn" - so whats right? yeah its a dodgy company, but they should be able to spell there own name right, or not?!

Both spellings are correct, although Brits tend to the double "L", and Americans to the single "L".

The dual 'l' is more correct. If a word ends with a consonant-volwel-consonant pattern (i.e. -vel) you need to double the final consonant if you are adding a suffix that begins with a vowel (-ers). Yes, I'm a teacher.

Yeah, I always use travellers, rather than travelers. Think it's just another one of those US/UK differences, like colour and color, grey and gray and liquorice and licorice.
