My Webster's 7th New Collegiate Dictionary lists both "canceled" and
"cancelled" as correct spellings.  So does the American Heritage
Dictionary of the English Language, although it labels the latter as
"chiefly British."  I agree that the spelling with the double "l"
is better; the other one has always looked wrong to me.
