A bizarre incident involving a mentally ill woman recently occurred at a store in Geoje, South Gyeongsang Province, where the suspect, wielding knives and wearing a cat mask, threatened employees and customers, including small children.

When the police arrested her and asked why she did it, she answered "meow" and said, "Can't tell you that, meow."

these words are pronounced differently in British and American English

Nearly all of the words with different spelling are pronounced identically, except for accent differences that are not reflected in the spelling. "Aluminum/Aluminium" is the only commonly used exception I can think of.
