# Carefree means "free from care or anxiety". (British style)
That has bugged me so much that, unless it is being proofread, I intentionally use British-style quotes.
- cabalamat 18y agoOne of the nice things about the English language is the difference between U.S. and UK rules, so you can mix and match them to your own taste and people can't tell you you're doing it wrong. So for example I write "center" not "centre" but "axe" not "ax".
