Good evening, Ladies and Gentlemen.
I have a question for you all which concerns the different spellings of words between British and American English.
In this case, I am referring to the word Brake.
Here in the UK, we have a brake pedal in our cars, and if we wish to stop quickly, we brake hard. If this was past tense, we would have braked hard. Once we have stopped, we apply the handbrake.
When I check this with Grammarly, it tries to tell me that the would is Break. This would change the meaning entirely, I don't want to damage my car, I just want it to stop.
So, the question is this. Is the word Brake used in American/Canadian English or is Grammarly just trying to ruin my car?
Not in Canada. But then, Canadians have a weird habit of letting our spelling veer between 'Murcun, and English!
I suspect that Grammarly is just plain wrong, and when it's wrong, it seems to get VERY insistent, unlike polar bears, who are practically perfect, as well as being incredibly modest!
Hope that helps!
Sorry, I should have said, is the word Break used in American/Canadian English instead of Brake?
Not to my knowledge, no. The brake on a car, whether foot or hand, is spelled as you have done it, not "break" as in to destroy.
However, according to Merriam-Webster (which is, I believe, American) "break" also means "to stop or bring to an end suddenly". Yet, the same entry also says "When the subject is slowing or stopping movement, the word to use is brake"
In summary, I believe Grammarly has made an ungrammarly mistake!
Thanks, JP. I have never come across this before. I think you are right, Grammarly is at fault here. 👌😃
