Despatch or dispatch?
Despatch or dispatch?
(OP)
One of my colleagues asked me what the difference is between 'dispatch' and 'despatch'. Having Googled it, it would appear that the 'i' is generally US spelling and the 'e' is generally British English spelling.
Does anyone know?

If you tell your client "U is right" you should be covered both ways !!!!!

De patch can help you stop smoking, especially after sects.
If that doesn't work, go to a hypnotryst. You'll have a great time, but think you went shopping.
