I was going to say: but the casting template is spelled 'mould' not 'mold'.

Looked it up and realised that the US spelling is actually also 'mold' https://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/definition/englis...

Moreover, the fungus is spelled 'mould' in British English: https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/mould

    Why wouldn't the fungus be spelt mould in British English? I'm just wondering if there's a reason beyond the natural surprise of finding variations, not trying to be argumentative.

    I've just been interrupred while writing this to be told that America and Britain number calendar weeks differently (Britain follows ISO[1]) and that Apple's calendar is fixed to the US version. It never ends…!
