Carole, I'm not sure what you mean about 'fiancée' being spelt that way in only a few countries; it's the recognised, correct English spelling (UK, US, Irish, Canadian, Australian etc) version of a word we stole from the French.

How else might it be spelt?
Re. Lois's location, Smallville is way too far away for her to have been taken there by road - she mentions travelling by truck. I'm also not sure that she could have survived in a crate for longer than a fairly short trip, so a plane journey is impossible anyway. She also mentions climbing, ie driving uphill - my guess would be that she and Luthor are somewhere in the hills/mountains outside Metropolis.
So, Clark, start looking in the hills beyond the city! And get Superman on the job too - you both seem to be being very slack here. Anyone would think you don't want to rescue Lois!
