Should "40" be "fourty" or "forty"? I am always confused about 40, whether it should be "fourty" or "forty"? Is it just a difference between American English and British English? or "fourty" is totally a wrong spelling.

Fourty is a misspelling anywhere. We use 'forty' in the UK.

We don't need a reason for it, because we aren't linguists.
