If Bricklink chooses to use 'His Majesty's English', they should
do so correctly. If I need a pilar I should not have to type 'pillar'
with two LL and go on a wild goose chase.
second: the object that appeares when You look for the Pilar 6168 is something
completely different. also the coloures don't match. Please look in to this.
with regards, Dirk

You have the wrong pil(l)ar: pilar with one l is an adjective and is relative
to hair, the noun, the architectural column, takes two l.

Sorry, I'm to tyred to reply

PS: BrickLink isn't an English UK site.
There's no English Standard, see Wikipedia:

Unlike with some other standard languages, there is no national academy or
international academy with ultimate authority to codify Standard English; its
codification is thus only by widespread prescriptive consensus. The codification
is therefore not exhaustive or unanimous...

In the UK, we spell it pillar, the same as in US English. I had never seen the
word pilar until today.

I've re-read it. I'm happy with my current skills and not understanding
what the point of the original post is.

Well OP isn’t totally wrong: everyone’s English does need improvement.  Spelling
and pronounciation are all over the place.

Here’s some suggestions:
