We know that some English words have different spelling from the original (British English) in some countries. How do you spell the words from the title? I would spell them like this:

Favourite
Realize
Centre

Like a Canadian :)
 
I usually spell them in American English (Favorite, Realize, Center, Licorice, etc.), but I use the British English spelling sometimes.
 
both
Realize
both

I combine both since I've learned both ways.. now I just use whatever I like the most..
 
Let's leave this as an example: colour
 
Favourite and sometimes favorite
Realize (I didn't know this word can be spelled as "realise")
Centre
 
i use the american spellings myself but i am used to the canadian spellings b/c most of my internet friends end up being inexplicably canadian i am an internet canadian magnet

it has happened on 3 websites already how
 
I spell the words as Favorite, Realize, and Center.
 
The only word that I, oddly enough, use both the british and american spellings for is grey/gray. Otherwise, I use the American spellings. (So in this case - Favorite, Realize, Center)
 
- both
- Realize
- Center
 
don't forget "tire or tyre".
 
Favorite
Realize
Center--except when locations themselves for whatever reason are spelled Centre, and that does happen in the USA

I wonder if there are palces where people use both...
 
Favourite
Realize
Center

I can get behind spelling favourite and realize like that but centre is easier to remember as center
