Is it licenced or licensed?

The words licence and license causes a lot of confusion. I find it interesting when businesses pay a lot of money to have a sign made and the spelling isn't quite correct.

In this case the sign should read "FULLY LICENSED".

Have you seen signs which catch your attention because of the spelling?

No problem too small.

  1. We Brits don't have a problem. I hold a British Amateur Radio Licence and an American Ham License.

    In the UK my favourite band is 6 Metres, and when in the US, 20 meters.

    It is also possible that some Cretans are cretins!

    1. Hi Tim,

      Thanks for dropping by and sharing your thoughts and humour.

      If you'd like a little word fun, search for "licenced" using www.google.co.uk with pages set to the UK and you'll see it causes many Brits a bit of angst as well.
