I`ve seen two ways to spell the word "center": center or centre.
我看见过center的两种拼法.一种是"center".另一种是"centre".

Oh, I know what you mean now. That is the difference between British English and American English. C-E-N-T-E-R is the American English way while C-E-N-T-R-E is the British way.
哦.我明白你的意思了.这是美式英语和英式英语的不同拼写.center是美国人的写法.而centre是英式拼法.

Well, I never knew that. Can you give me a few more examples?

Here is another example: L-A-B-O-R. This is the American English spelling. In British, it is spelled L-A-B-O-U-R.
比如: L-A-B-O-R这是美式的, L-A-B-O-U-R这是英式的.
