Toward v Towards

What’s the difference between towards and toward?

Those in the UK tend to like that extra letter and spell it towards with an S. I’ve noticed many Americans still pronounce the S in everyday conversation (hence the confusion) but it is not used if you’re writing for a U.S. publication – whether it’s a newspaper or a book publisher, both the AP Style Guide and the Chicago Manual of Style note to leave it off in all cases.
