1908 configurator misspelling?
I was browsing the 1908 Configurator (the new blue platinum is 🔥 ) and noticed the spelling of “matte” without the “e.” Is that a European or alternative spelling of the word?

According to Merriam-Webster, 'matte' is most common, but 'matt' and even 'mat' are acceptable.

Is matte American? Normally you guys lose letters - I always wondered what happened to them. Math, color, favorite, mustache, aluminum. |

Typically, we do use matte. I was thinking the same, though in my mind, you guys usually add letters, as in colour.  Kat Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |
