Not sure how to spell a word? Hesitate no longer.

Catalogue or Catalog?

Your choice!

Catalogue

Exemple : ‘’The new clothing catalogue came in the post yesterday.’’

The spelling of the word "catalogue" varies depending on whether you are using British or American English. British English spells the word with a "ue" at the end.

Catalog

Exemple : ‘’You can search the library online catalog for books. ’’

American English finishes the word with the "g." This is the case with many other words which end in "gue" in British English such as "analogue." Originally American English spelled these words in the same way as the British version but throughout the 20th century the spelling was gradually simplified.
