Mold vs. Mould: A Battle of Epic Proportions

Updated: Mar 1, 2023

Greetings, dear readers! It's your favorite fungus-fighting company, Brylex, here to delve into the age-old debate of mold vs. mould. As experts in the field of mold remediation, we've seen our fair share of both spellings. But which one is better? Let's find out.


First off, we must establish that mold/mould (we'll be using both spellings for the sake of equality) is a pesky fungus that can wreak havoc on your home and health. It's a problem that no one wants to deal with, but unfortunately, it's a fact of life. And when it comes to spelling, the battle rages on.


In the US, mold is the preferred spelling, while in the UK and other English-speaking countries, mould takes the cake. It's a classic case of "potato vs. potato" or "aluminum vs. aluminium." But as a company that deals with this pesky fungus every day, we have to take a side. And that side is mold.


Why mold, you ask? Well, for starters, it's snappier. It gets straight to the point, like a drill sergeant barking orders. "Mold, get out of my house!" "Mold, stop ruining my bread!" See how effective that is? Plus, it's the spelling used most commonly in the US, even though we are a Canadian company, let’s face it, the US will likely win the media battle for this word. Eh! We still got them back in the war of 1812 at the Capitol.


On the other hand, we can see why people might prefer mould. It's got a softer, more refined sound to it. It's a word that rolls off the tongue like a gentle breeze, or a posh British accent. "Excuse me, could you please remove the mould from my tea set?" See how classy that sounds? But at the end of the day, we have to go with what we know. Thanks America!


Of course, there are those who argue that the two spellings are interchangeable, and that it doesn't really matter which one you use. But where's the fun in that? We like a good debate, and mold vs. mould is one for the ages. It's a battle that will continue to rage on, like a fungal war between nations.


So, in conclusion, we at Brylex have decided to take a stand and declare our allegiance to mold. It's a spelling that gets the job done, and we like things that get the job done. But no matter which spelling you prefer, just remember: if you see any of that pesky fungus in your home, give us a call. We'll take care of it, no matter how you spell it.
