Jewelry or Jewellery or Jewery?
Jewelry or Jewellery both come from the word, “Jewel”, meaning a personal ornament such as rings, necklaces, etc…etc…
Jewery actually means nothing but it’s probably closer to the actual pronounciation than both jewelry and jewellery.
Did you know that German translation of Jewelry is “Schmuck”. Schmuck also means foreskin of the penis in English according to the Urban Dictionary.
Of course, we all know what a real “schmuck” is, just don’t be one.
Jewelry is one of the hardest and common misspelled word of the English language.
Let’s take a look at some other typos for Jewelry.
Jewelery is probably most common misspelling for Jewellery.
The funny thing is that a Jeweler, someone who sells Jewellery, is spelled with only one L, unlike its counterpart sister. In some countries other than the US, it’s also okay to spell Jeweler with an extra L, hence “Jeweller”.
I mean, how confusing can it get?
Now I have you confused about Jewelry and Jewellery, I want you to not forget to spell them right.
I find that the best way to spell Jewellery is with the short version, Jewelry. Simply spell “Jewery” with an extra L.
There, I made it simpler for you, or did I?
