Just wondering what the difference is between those two words.

I can answer this for you all!!!....
Marshall is not actually a word in its own right...... the 2 l's only comes into force when used in a plural manner.... i.e. marshalling.... Oooooohhhhhhh I knew that dictionary would come in useful one day!!....... |

"Marshall" is for those who can't spell "Marshal" just the same as "Donnington" is for those who can't spell "Donington".

Zandbak, in England we use the word "Marshal" with on 'L' but I thought that in Belgium (and I think Germany?) you used "Marshall" with two 'L's? It's just a linguistic thing like licence and license, different language different spelling.

Over here in Ameri-kay, the two spellings of the m-word are listed as interchangeable. Marshal is the one we use for race workers.
Marshall is most often seen as a given name or surname. The double-l version is also often seen in older descriptions of lawkeepers - e.g. Marshall Dillon, but is now usually spelled only with one l. |

I always thought Marshall was a american way of spelling marshal but true to Mrs Blackx`s post when used in the likes of marshalling it should be two L's. Anybody know Carol Vorderman`s phone no so we can ask someone brainy?????

I really don't think that's the reason you want Carol Vorderman's phone number, now is it?!
