What Is the Correct Spelling???

L.:

Both are correct. It is a matter of HOW you are using it.

I was BORN on the 4th of July.
I have food borne allergies.

It's not a strange question...

just like

threw and through
I THREW the ball.
You will get THROUGH this.

like Born/Borne - both are pronounced the same but mean something different.

ETA: They are both correct, in spelling. Grammatically, they are used differently.

Borne = carried

Born = birthed

I was born in 1981 having been borne by my mother for 9 months.

It depends on what you're saying.

BORN means coming forth by (or as if by) birth, having certain particular qualities from birth, or destined from (or as if from) birth. So you were born in Texas, he is a born athlete, she was born to succeed in that line of work.

BORNE is related to the verb BEAR, which is what makes it confusing. It has a very long definition, but you often use it when something is suffered or endured ("Their treatment of her was hard, but she has borne it well"), or is something transmitted or transported ("He suffered a food-borne illness after eating in that restaurant," "That sort of allergy is air-borne by pollen," "The traveler was borne to his destination in a horse-drawn coach").

You are American-born if your mother gave birth to you in America.

Both are correct.

Born -- as in newborn or my baby has been born.

Borne -- as in food borne illness.

American born is two words.

I type words into dictionary.com if spellcheck in word is not solving the issue for me.

Here's a site that really explains it well and even gives examples.

Born is related to birth, ie I was born in Maryland.
Borne is from bear in the sense of being able to stand something, ie That is too terrible to be borne.
Though in the US, the e is often left off (which drives me mad).
