cancelation

English

Noun

cancelation (countable and uncountable, plural cancelations)

  1. (US) Alternative spelling of cancellation.

Usage notes

Both are correct spellings but despite the widely used form of canceled vs. cancelled in American English, the word cancellation is used slightly more than cancelation. The usage of two ls is a remnant of British English, remaining after American English instated spelling changes.[1]
