tell me if "traveler" (single "l") is correct English?

Or:
can I add another Japanese equipment typo to my list?

Examples of: "Franger" instead of flanger on the PCB of an Ibanez UE400, "Aikaline" on Ibanez master series pedals bottom label, "Effets" loop on my neighbours obscure guitar amp. "Batter" snap on Shin-Ei pedals with a battery label etc etc.
More stuff, less fear, less  hassle and less censoring? How 'bout it??. To discuss what YOU want to discuss instead of what others decide for you. It's possible...

Both "traveler" and "traveller" are accepted spellings, according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary.

typing either version into google get hits.
i think "one L" is   "most" correct.
1st hit   "National Geographic Traveler"

Now if National Geographic thinks "traveler" is correct......

I am NOT a spelling king.
But I *am* familiar with Webster.

Maybe that explains. My dictionary said double l as well and Google does give hits on typo's (although suggesting the correct spelling).

Thanks guys

Actually, it was originally alumium, but Sir Davy couldn't make up his mind, first changing it to aluminum to agree with its Latin root (alumina), and finally to aluminium to match his other discoveries (potasssium, sodium, et al). The American spelling came from Charles Martin Hall, whose electrolytic process made aluminum production possible. The IUPAC prefers the ium spelling, but considers both acceptable.

the arion effects translations are a mess.
