usually retained in Philippine English when adding suffixes to words ending in l where the consonant is unstressed, contrary to American English. Therefore, cancelled and travelling are more prominent than the American spelling of canceled and traveling. Where British English uses a single-consonant l in the words skilful, wilful, enrol, distil, enthral, fulfil and instalment, Philippine English typically uses a double consonant: skillful, willful, enroll, distill, enthrall, fulfill and installment. The British English defence and offence are spelled defense and offense in Philippine English. Philippine English uses practice and license for both nouns and verbs rather than licence for the second noun and practise for the first verb. Philippine English uses acknowledgement and judgement etc. as opposed to acknowledgment and judgment. Examples of individual words where the preferred spelling is different from current British spellings include program (in all contexts) as opposed to programme, loveable as opposed to lovable and guerrilla as opposed to guerilla. However, programme is often used in the sense of "A leaflet listing information about a play, game or other activity" for distinguishment. Style The DD/MM/YYYY and MM/DD/YYYY date format are used in the Philippines for date notation and the 12-hour clock for time notation. Keyboard layout There are two major English language keyboard layouts, the United States layout and the United Kingdom layout. Keyboards and keyboard software for the Philippine market universally use the US keyboard layout, which lacks the pound sterling, euro and negation symbols and uses a different layout for punctuation symbols than the UK keyboard layout. Phonology Philippine English is a rhotic accent mainly due to the influence of Philippine languages, which are the first language of most of its speakers. Another influence is the rhotic characteristic of American English, which became the longstanding standard in the archipelago since Americans introduced the language in public education. This is contrary to most Commonwealth English variants spoken in neighboring countries such as Malaysia or Singapore. The only exception to this rule is the word Marlboro, which is frequently read as Malboro. Therefore, phonemes are pronounced in all positions. However, some children of Overseas Filipinos who are educated in Commonwealth countries (such as Australia, New Zealand or the United Kingdom) may speak in a non-rhotic accent unless taught otherwise. Native and well-educated speakers (also called acrolectal speakers) may also feature flapping and vowel sounds resembling the California vowel shift due to the influence of Hollywood
