"Cancellation" is misspelled

[mathman628]

Does Paypal know that its spelling of 'cancelation' (referring to invoices) is wrong?  How do I/we notify them?  Both canceled and cancelled are 'correct', e.g., but cancelation is not.  Witness (emphasis added):

From Google Dictionary (questions): 

Canceled or cancelled is the past tense of the verb to cancel. Both spellings are correct; Americans favor canceled (one L), while cancelled (two Ls) is preferred in British English and other dialects. However, there is only one correct spelling of the word cancellation, no matter where you are.

Not if you use correct English (options) it isn't.

Don't understand you.  'Cancellation' is correct, according to Google Dictionary, and 'cancelation' (which Paypal uses) is not.  What am I missing?

Despite the widely used form of canceled vs. cancelled in American English, the word cancellation is still much more widely used than the variant cancelation.

The usage of two ls is a remnant of British English, remaining even after American English instated spelling changes[1].

Regardless, the choice to spell the word as either cancellation or cancelation is entirely arbitrary.

Aha, interesting!!  Thanks!  Differing 'experts'.  🙂   Would have preferred this response, rather than sarcasm, the first time. 🙂

Couldn't see anything in my first post that was sarcastic.

Sorry will make sure that I add you to my list for non-response to any posts in the future, would hate for that to happen again.

I rest my case.  🙂  

Have a good one.

Ditto and your welcome.

[mathman628]

Can't resist:  It should actually be "Thanks and YOU'RE welcome."  🙂

Yep but then this is an advice forum and I was not the one posting to query a spelling mistake made by Paypal when it wasn't, was I?

I reply with advice to as many posts as possible so spelling / punctuation is the least of my concerns when trying to save folks from being scammed etc, shame it seems to be your priority.
