What is the difference between dispatch and despatch?
There is none. According to the Oxford Dictionary, both spellings are synonymous for all meanings of the word. However, 'dispatch' is more common in American English and 'despatch' seems to be more common in British English. It really comes down to a matter of personal preference.
