Curb vs. kerb​

​

In American and Canadian English, the noun meaning the edge of a sidewalk or roadway is spelled curb. In varieties of English from outside North America, the word is spelled kerb. But everyone uses curb for the verb meaning to check or restrain and for the verb’s corresponding noun (e.g., curbs on spending).​

I only knew this because I have lived both sides of the pond for decades.

Hubbard always was in favor of stepping any curb he did not impose.


In fact even if he did impose it; e.g. Quentin was a PTS Type E auditor

Interesting discussion. Read the comments in the right-hand column too, if you care to. The phrase came to mind, and I was wondering exactly this.

When you Google “What does curb your dog mean?”, you find three different answers.​
