"artefact" or "artifact"

Some grammar rules (and embarrassing mistakes!) transcend the uniqueness of different regions and style guides. This new International Grammar section by OnlineBookClub.org ultimately identifies those rules thus providing a simple, flexible rule-set, respecting the differences between regions and style guides. You can feel free to ask general questions about spelling and grammar. You can also provide example sentences for other members to proofread and inform you of any grammar mistakes.

"artefact" or "artifact"

Post by SunVixen »

I am writing the review on the book whose author uses the word "artifact". As far as I know, this word is written in two ways, "artefact" and "artifact". Should I count and listed this "artifact" as a error?

Artifact is not a misspelling. The two words have slightly different meanings.
Life without a good book is something MrsCatInTheHat cannot imagine.
