How they sound

All of these spellings are said the same way: /ˈstɔri/ (STOR-ee). So the choice is about how it looks: it is the spelling people will read on a birth card, a name tag or an email address, and the one your child will sometimes spell out.

In France

None of these spellings is given in France often enough to be counted.
