Do not confuse dependant with dependent, which has the same pronunciation. The adjective derived from the verb depend is always spelled dependent, in both U.S. and British English: The young birds are still dependent on their parents. The noun meaning "somebody who is supported financially by another," as in an unmarried woman with no dependants, is usually spelled dependent in U.S. English and dependant in British English.
