I spell it as Coward

It's the same in both.

Im British and i spell it coward and never cowerd

It is coward. The difference between American English and Normal English is the use of U. We have many words where we use a U and Americans do not, coloUr for example.

It is coward in both versions of English. I think the only ways in which American and British spelling differ are: 1. Words that end with the letters or in American English - color and humor become colour and humour. 2. Some words that end with the letters er in America, such as center and theater are spelt centre and theatre in UK English. Some words in one version of the language don't exist in the other version. For example I don't think spelt exists in US English and gotten is rarely used in UK English, although forgotten is.

Most often I use British English as thats what they taught me in school. I spell the word 'coward' and I think it is the right spelling to match the phonetics of pronunciation.

I am Canadian and use the British way of spelling. It is coward. It is generally just the U's that are the difference. Colour instead of color for example.

Cowed, the coward cowered from the cowherd.

I always use coward,but a lot of people in the UK pronounce it cowerd by dropping the (a) and substituting it with an(e).Its just a matter of pronunciation and can be understood in both pronunciation. However, the word cowerd can be mistaken for the word cowherd a person who tends cows.

No. There's no such word as cowerd. That is not how it's spelled.

The English version is coward...
