Callus: a thickened and hardened part of the skin or soft tissue, especially in an area that has been subjected to friction.[/spoiler]
English

Both spellings are valid, mate.

But they mean different things.

Edited by One Shot Ted: 1/4/2020 5:01:37 PMNope, they're just different ways of spelling the same thing. Note the text at the bottom of the image ("Variant spelling of callus.")

Don't know what to tell you. The dictionary gives different definitions. Not to mention that dictionary.com says that it is a "can be confused with:" word.

Edited by One Shot Ted: 1/5/2020 11:16:04 AMI'm not saying that "callus" isn't a word in America, I'm saying that whether you think so or not, "callous" is. And given the fact that I previously linked a dictionary definition stating that "callous" is also used as a noun, there really isn't any denying it. I've lived in the States of America for 22 years and you're the first person I've seen using "callus" instead of "callous" to describe toughened skin. It's probably a regional thing like "soda" and "pop." Edit: Here's an example of "calloused skin" being used in a song from a band that I listen to: https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/fitforanautopsy/unloved.html It'll be in the third section of text.

Not in American

As an American, I can safely and conclusively say that you are not correct.
