The list of designators is a controlled list, and as best as I can say, you
must use the term there as found, with the British/Canadian spelling. The
records that you've found that don't are, in my opinion, incorrect.

Subject: [RDA-L] honouree vs. honoree
Still seeking info. on this, especially now as I see that the MARC Code
List for Relators (http://www.loc.gov/marc/relators/relaterm.html) advises
to use the spelling Honoree rather than Honouree. Anyone from LC or PCC
know if there is anything in the works to create a PS stating to use the
spelling Honoree for RDA?
Thanks,

I know there is an LC-PCC PS stating to use the American spelling of
color, but don't see any such LC-PCC PS for the spelling of the
relationship designator honouree. Doing a keyword search for rda and
honouree in a personal name yields 282 hits in LC's catalog, but doing the
same search with honoree yields 24 hits. Most of the 24 records have an
040 with only DLC in it, however many of these are In Process. We get a
lot of Feschrifts at my institution, so while it appears honouree is the
predominately used spelling (and indeed the spelling in RDA), I'm just
wondering if anyone knows if LC or PCC has looked at the spelling of
honouree and if there might be a PS in the future saying to use the
spelling honoree.
