I'm constantly involved in a fight between my 'evil' and 'good' side; I can't stand the usual US spellings as a Brit, but I always end up admitting to myself that US spellings generally: make more sense; and are essentially an improvement on a language that's horrible to understand and learn properly anyway. Though I still reserve the right to hate the inconsistent use of 'z' (why internationalize but surmise; realize but enterprise, etc etc)! </rant> You'll never hear this from me again, I promise.
