: : *specialty* and *speciality*?
: : Thanks
: "Specialty" is a word. "Speciality" isn't; it's used mistakenly for "specialty."
Only problem with that is that both words are listed in several dictionaries as being valid. Maybe it's one of those words that once had a right and a wrong way, the wrong way was used so much, it evolved into being a part of our language and was included in the dictionaries. Who knows.
Seems mostly I think to be a matter of preference. ---GODDESS
