As a Canadian, I can usually use either. In this case, I prefer the
British, because it is more phonetic. A consonant between two vowels

the pronounciation? English already has too many cases of the
spelling being totally at odds with the pronounciation, so why add
another one?

Dreamed a dream by the old canal,
I kissed my love by the factory wall,
Dirty old town, dirty old town."
