Would you like a Whisky or a Whiskey ??

Discovery Travel and Living , a channel which I rarely watch... but I totally had to stop on that channel... when they were showing Edinburgh...

It was beautiful.. so was the lady presenting it...

the roads .. old Edinburgh.. the hotels.. just amazing

So she then walks into one of many famous pubs in Scotland... and tastes one of the finest Scotch.. of course Discovery is paying.. why wouldn't she..

Then she points towards a bottle labeled Whiskey and another one labeled Whisky.. and asks the bartender..why are the spellings different.... ???

So here is the answer... ideally.. the spelling Whisky.. is reserved for Scotch .. and the Term Whiskey.. with a E that is.. is used when referring to all other Whiskeys in the world UK , American etc etc..

interesting revelation to me...

Thats when I observed.. that if you have chosen US English as a language option while typing..it gives an error in spell check.. it will suggest Whiskey... which is not really correct..

American Idiots.

So what would you like to have ?
